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?
