Give it all
all of it away
to someone
who throws it all away
throw me into the sun
and let me burn
my ashes fall to the ground
where there they are trampled
beaten flat to the dirt
with your hands
you wipe the rest of me on your shirt
carry me on the bottom of your shoe
to spread around these ashes
until a tree grows
then you cut me down
to the ground
just as good as dirt
even though I'd throw you into the ocean
I'd still swim out to save you.
All of you.
