My choice
If I were the last female on earth,
I would find steep cliffs with a beautiful scenery.
I would play music, just for myself, as I don’t want an intruder
in the only thing I have for myself.
After enjoying the soft breeze,
I would start dancing until I stepped too far and would lose my balance.
As I fall, I would spread my arms for the wind to do with my body what it wants.
Only a power of the world would be allowed to hold me as it pleases.
In the end I requested something from the powers of the world,
A fair trade in comparison of what would happen if I stayed on the cliff.
I would laugh on the way down, my fear of heights all gone.
Only a small fear, it wouldn’t be high enough.
I hope that upon meeting the ground, my body would be as broken as my soul.
That no one could take it from me, even after I abandoned it.
My last wish would be for only nature to have me.
for only the sun and passing birds to see me.
For only the insects eating my remains, to touch me.
