When I Die

Zoe Noelle Smith

When I die,
Will the secrets seep from my eyes?
Will the fortune tellers scry?
Will my life lines incised become petrified?
Will the pieces of my mind fertilize the dirt that underlies?
Will the blood from my pouring veins act as confectionery wine for the flies?
Will my vacant heart echo the thunder in guise?
Will my lungs imbue with bedraggled rainwater unrefined?
Will I get to say goodbye?
Will I find it's all lies?
When I die.
