My greatest act of love

I am going to live

exactly the kind of life 

you had wished for me

that will be my final 

and greatest act of love

***

I dreamt

I was home with my mother

beside her broken heart

at my brother's departure

I dreamt

she was me

I was her

(in a cosmic sense)

My dad was there

opened my brother's room

under the bed 

a cloud of dust

to me he turned and said:

Dust clouds of Gaia

Remember princess:

when you're dead

you're really dead.

***

I am going to live

exactly the kind of life 

you had wished for me

that will be my final 

and greatest act of love
