Beach Funeral
When I die in my sleep,
know that I died on a beach.
Before my final moment came,
I sat in front of the sun and the waves,
and I let them burn me and splash over me.
Please be at peace with the thought
that I did not die drowning.
In fact, I've been floating endlessly
in the ocean for so long
and the moment I took my last breath
was the fulfillment of a promise
by all the sirens I befriended.
