mother, i have spent my life sleeping on
our hard couch. i won’t really mind if you
can’t afford me a coffin.

you can just throw my body somewhere,
or feed me to the wild maybe.
i will forgive you.

you really don’t have to
give me a proper burial, for it’s fine if
you will dig in a random lot like a
serial killer hiding the traces of his crime,
and bury me there.

don’t be terrified by these words, mother.
i am just telling you to not stress yourself
if i died in your arms,
because i’m not expecting for a grand
funeral.
