Bury Me Out On the Prairie (written September 2022)

Bury me out on the prairie
With wildflowers at my feet
Where the fields go on on for miles
And the corn grows tall and sweet

Bury me with the bones of my family
Beneath the giant Burr oak tree
That stands when all I’ve clung to falls
and will be there long after me

When everything I’ve known has gone to dust
And there are no witnesses to who I used to be
Bury me out on the prairie
Where the ground remembers me
