Burial

And I'll hear their prayers
over me
my hearing
cut off
and I'm alone

And they'll wash me
cleaner than I've been
my whole life
but they'll never know
and I'm alone

And the cloth covers me
white and pure
like a baby
going back to its roots
and I'm alone

And I'll be back
in a car like before
but nobody's happy
there's no song
just silence
and I'm alone

And soon I'll be back
back to my roots
to rebloom
into flowers
prettier than I was

And soon
I'll be back with them
as I grow
again
And I'll no longer
be alone.
