Burry me in piles of paperwork

Kill my toes with pointy shoes

Bandaid my fingers from paper****

Drown me with coffee and cream

Set the alarms to go off before dawn

Shower your hair through the steam..

Towels of cotton.. tiles of marble..

Windows overlooking the sea..

We have a pool but no time to swim in it

Children just aren't for me..

I hear their voices carry over the fences..

I remember juvenile things..

Strolls on the beach..

Gulls and things..

Birds on the breeze..

Shells at the break of the waves..

My hands could hold a hundred more..

Tiny things by the sea..

Birds that fly..

In the sky..

Of our memories...
