let dirt and worm eat freely

O, Texas, when my corpse,
at last comes home to you,
let it be a part of you
until the Earth’s last days.

Reserve a grave for me
in a bonnet field of
wild blue near the banks
of the Trinity,
so that my eternal solitude
may be an ode to you.

Let no casket separate
your ebon soil from my flesh;
let dirt and worm eat freely
as I fade into your womb.

O, Texas, when my corpse,
at last comes home to you,
let it be a part of you
until the Earth’s last days.
