I’m not confident how I’ll die
But I hope to come back some dog
I’ll run between tall grass
I’ll let my tongue hang out all-day
I’ll chase nothing and flip just because
I’m not sure how I’ll die
But if I come back a dog
Might as well die today
If I was to die today
I’d hope excessively
I want to come back mid-flight
I want to be an enormous bird with sweeping wings
I want to soar and I will also glide
Yellow and green and also blue
My feathers will cause a scene
For if I’m dying today
Then the bird is what I’ll become
I dreamt I died today
And light as a feather there I was
I came back low on the ground
I came back scurrying around
I came back with such foresight
That I tried being terrified
But I must have already known
That to die does not take just one day
I know I’ll die one day
I doubt I’ll be without hope
I doubt I’ll be full of regrets
I doubt I’ll be sad to go
Being an animal as I wanted
To just be and be let be
To love life and be life
To breathe air and be air
So when I die, I’ll die free
