I do not want a plain box, I want a sarcophagus
With tigery stripes, and a face on it
Round as the moon, to stare up.
I want to be looking at them when they come
Picking among the dumb minerals, the roots.

Wait without thought, for you are not ready for thought: so the darkness shall be the light, and the stillness the dancing.
