Nobody special

I hope it is sunny when I die.

I hope it is sunny when I die.

I’ve seen enough of the rain,

I’ve seen enough dreary days,

I’ve seen enough clouds in the sky.

 

I hope the sun blazes when I die.

the concrete sidewalks hot to touch,

the cooler ice threatening to melt,

the shady corner the only salvation.

 

I hope to be alone when I die.

My mother at the mall,

My siblings at the beach,

My father at the lake.

I hope it is sunny when I die.

Just like today.
