    My Deathbed

    Ralph Binamira (1957-2003)

    My Deathbed
    (composed during Ralph's wake;
    read at his interment, July 2003)

    be it not of roses.
    the thorns will prick my wounds,
    gush my blood awash
    and bathe the blooms like laundry.
    ((let not my crimson paint the petals.))
     
    be it not of wood.
    the grain will frame my pain,
    sustain the throb
    and sprain my frail body.
    ((let not my flesh grate the grain.))

    be it not of steel.
    the cold will make me quiver,
    quicken my last gasp
    and freeze my heart like ice.
    ((let not my chill steal the stillness.))

    my deathbed, be it nothing!
    let no bed cuddle me at death;
    for no crib cradled me at birth.
