Don’t Lay Down a Lily For Me If I Die

Don’t lay a lily for me
It’s silly to lay down flowers that fade
Don’t lay a lily for me
don’t lay it in a Goodwill Donation-vase
you have no time to polish
Don’t lay a lily for me
don’t stick the stem in a soilless soulless pint of water
Don’t lay a lily for me
Because you won’t sing to the lily daily
Don’t lay a lily for me
unless you intend to smother my mount and neighbors with a field
that will benefit the bees
Don’t lay a lily for me
You might have created the world that placed me in the ground
Don’t lay a lily for me
Nothing came from your sweet-nothings when I was breathing
Don’t lay a lily for me
and leave it to fade.
Don’t lay a lily for me
it will suffocate as I did.
