Do Not Cry

For if time live longer than i could if you mutter and i am mute if you lay your head on my breast and i refuse to embrace do not cry. For when you see my nostrils and ears blocked in white cuttons and my body mummified when you hold my hand and it is cold and my body stiffs gradationally when you rumble and i am silent do not cry. For i have fallen like a dry leaf would fall bustling like the bees roaring like the lion panting as the deer in the place that is strange and in my strange self I have changed form and i am not with you anymore gone to a place where the ground is air and the air seems solid that i walk upon where i will be trapped and amassed never to return. Funeral will come maybe on a rainy day friends and foes will attend in their black dresses and i will be given a shallow space until enternity comes I won't struggle to come out from my diminutive space as earth begins to eat me gradually i will remain in your heart for a while thereafter fade like a dyed black cutton

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style.
