Transformations #5: fossil (find a home)

#5: fossil (find a home)

when you died

you became

a map of yourself—an idea:

how to build

the past.

patient water

replaced your sullen bones

with geology.

slow million time crept in,

replaced your fog-breathing

lungs

with a plaque

on the wall

of the much-loved museum

of good ideas

dead and gone.

we all should be so lucky.

we all should be so loved.
