Goodnight

I drip drop lavender and ylang ylang
on the water basin
by my bed
I tip toe my barefeet
I drag them lightly
twisting my toes amidst the high pink soft
grass that covers my pink childish rugs
in my bedroom floors
where i just dance for a second
happily
In my long large white cotton lace nightgown
and before i lay down
amidst the little flowers of the sheets
however
I remember
suddenly:
this should be my burial gown
forget not my children
bury me in my white long nightgown
lay me amidst the pink rugs
softening the coffin walls
and
then
and only then
let the flames consume my princess leftovers.
You can then eat me if you want, or at least use me to season the summer dishes.
Forget not,
my child. You above all the children, do not forget.
Goodnight my love.
