Elemental Romantic
prose poem
Sometime ago I thought a romantic
send-off into the great ethereal beyond
was to have my vacant physical body
put onto a pallet of wood logs bound together
sent off to float on water and air whilst aflame
into twilight, stardust, and moonglow
surrounded by the elements that buoyed
my astral and physical bodies in the before time
when I was vivacious — soaking up
nature’s bounty
star ashes to earth ashes
fiery marrow dust to gaseous decomposing dust
ocean drops to salty dissolution.
