Requiem for a Drunk Sailor Drowned

Mike Brennan

Promise me that when I die
no warships will be sailing the skies
no gun salutes will shovel gravel over
the grave
no flags shall be folded nor draped across the door
that contains
the shell, the fossil, the memory of a face
no ribbons can loosely symbolize
the reckless mystery of vanished life
just roll the body under a rock
& brandish the bottles that
time keeps stocked
for he who has been lowered might
require a drop
to water the grounds
covering life’s
ultimate plot.
