AFTER I DIE, I WANT TO BE
This is from a poetry workshop prompt, not to worry, it's not what you think.
Article voiceover
I want to be sound. Booming Tibetan long horns fly me beyond the Himalayas back to my Mother’s sloshing womb. Clanging Cathedral bells, displacing thoughts of those on the ground. I want Hafiz poems, dancing to Lila Downs, and Nina Simone at my flame and petal adorned grave. A chair will face my mirrored headstone, each mourner a turn to sit . I will ride a mossy fairy bed to foreign lands, loved ones' whooshing wings by my side. I will finally know the answers. Then, I will be the mockingbird’s song from a bush by a bench where a lonely person sits, a fallen birch blocking a dangerous path, and oranges pregnant with sun. My juice, moments of sweetness on dry tongues.
