Her body lies nightly in my room
Growing heavier by the minute
Gray and black speckled remains
Tightly wrapped in pink tissue paper
A body full of words
A body covered in art
A body now gone
I wanna send her into air
On the tracks of her angst
On the land of her birth
On the ocean where she grew
Mermaid fins
And back to feet again
Her body lies nightly in my room
Stirring by my sleeping head
Humming while I burn
White copal and myrrh
And I wanna send her back to earth
To the dirt that covered her living
To rest like she always needed
To fly like she always hoped
To heal like we all know she did
