COCOONS

A partial interpretation from the artist's transient perspective

If I have been
reincarnated
on my universal
rounds,

How many bodies
have I left
rotting
in the
ground?

How much
flesh and bone
have I left
sealed up
in tin?

Millions and Billions
of planets and
moons
hold my remains
in metallic
cocoons.

Ashes to Ashes
and dust to dust,

I chose the cleansing fire
at the end of this
euphoric dream.
