LEAVE NO MARK

leave no mark hard-by me
my grave’s no billboard - iconically
for clan - or tribe - ideal - or creed
keep thy shallow baseless need
off me

leave slick quote off my stone
accept my beliefs and leave me ‘lone
as i rot from flesh to bone
paid my dues in the killin�zone

in a dark-drip crypt lit by blue-black light
wait ghoul-grim specter in the cool dark night
he needs no ads �death his rite
a fiend i could call friend

says he:
death my friend is as it should be
simply a life phase �intrinsically
no ads �no fads �just tools of the trade
there’s aids �sharp blades - bubonic plagues
and all for me - - he he HAAAAaaaaaaaaa . . . . . . .

-

place no ads upon my tomb
return my soul to nature’s womb
bring me back as albatross �so.-right dolphin �under so-southern cross
elate me �berate me �but spare me the �loss
of being human

the pain of night �the cringe �the fright
of memories past - uah - hol�on fast
here we go again �down �down �down that hole
to dark wormy guilty hate �no �no �it’s too late
to auger-out

leave no colors o’re my bones
when i’m gone �leave me ‘lone
remember what was �what gentleness does
when assailed by �terror �in the error of
life

as

human?
