LIES ALL THE WAY TO MY GRAVE

by John McKernan

My brown eyes
Will be bright & wide open

My shadow
Will have the texture
Of a soft clean blanket

My hearse
Will be a new Cadillac
Smooth riding
Ignoring every pothole & nail

My granite slab
In the stonemason's shed
Will shine
In starlight & moonlight
Bearing the letters of my latest alias
