My dear,

let us lay on the grass

beneath the trees

and the sunlight that spills

between its gaps.

Meet me underneath the soil

where we once were,

as insects lay on our bodies

and eat away our skin.

Hold me when the rain pours

and the sky will not be so blue,

as the grayed clouds 

cover our head to toe.

Oh, darling,

kiss me when the moon

bids us goodbye,

and the sun is peeking.

And when the dawn breeze

hits our corpses—

we'll make even something like rotting

sound beautiful.
