350. I SAW THE BURIAL

I saw the burial of my body.
I laughed and laughed.

I saw the burial of my vital.
I laughed and laughed.

I saw the burial of my mind.
I laughed and laughed.

I saw the burial of my heart.
I cried and cried
Because
What I really had,
What I really claimed
As my own,
Was my sole tiny heart.
