When I lay down that last time
Place quarters on my eyelids
Where pennies are insufficient
_____to pay the load I carry.
When I drop out of the human race
Leave my shoes in the forest
Where they’ll be a mystery
to anyone who finds them.
When I have no more use for my blood
Speak not of better places
Where I was would be much preferred
_____to being any elsewhere.
When I am sent to that great black
Give freely of your tears and cry
Where I would were I still able
_____to lament my greatest loss.
