Death Is Always Early Valentine

Death falls in little pieces
Like a large fly lying on its back
Just here on my table
Under the brown lilies of Easter
Its legs folded its wings
Still catching some sun
No one to annoy or marry
Hatching little ones
No elaborate funeral to follow
Which no one attends
Which dandelion shall I
Place you under or feed
You to the lilies until
Our resurrection comes
