Scream your own name at me

Cry out your birth day, your death day

Plead with the earth to remember your life

Beg me to acknowledge you had a soul

I feel you shaking beneath me

Trembling with the fury that kept you warm

You miss the blood that kept you hot

You want back what you silenced and shed

You were birthed in a dying world

By a desperate woman

You fought life as a feral creature

Death has not brought you victory

And as you scream through stone

I lie on the grass above my box

I listen to my own sorrow

Bleeding through the earth

Tenderly, I kiss my name

And try to hold myself

A final attempt to self soothe

As I fade away
