Poem -

just this...

grant me
~~~~~~

just this
~~~~~

when I am
~~~

​​​​​quite dead
~~~~~~~

these cats
and this dog
and that book and
my bed

then...
please arrange all my loved photos
add a lamplight's golden glow
bid the outside hail and thunder
gift me pillows soft as snow

tell my loved ones we shall meet
after...
eternity's short rest 
then please grant me lie forever
with the comfort of no breath
