Ablution

On my father’s side

I am part fish.

When I am dead,

return me to water.

That part of me

which is raven, on

my mother’s side,

will submit.

Do not waste time.

Do not bury me,

or feed me to maggots.

Return me to water,

I’ve shown you where.

The flow is steady

at this Point.

Don’t reduce me to ash.
