POETRY Reading: Eulogoy Poem (Untitled), by Catherine Chhina

Performed by Val Cole

Eulogy Poem (Untitled).

Bury me beneath a million technicolor daisies,
Bury me under the weight of beautiful music that speaks directly to the soul,
Bury me under sunrises, sunsets, shooting stars, and eclipses,
Bury me with all that is magical,
All that is free,
All that is divine,
Bury me with the hearts of my truest comrades and the rhythm of justice still beating in my blood,
Bury me beneath rainbow coloured flags,
Raised fists, peace signs, and all capital A’s,
Bury me fully alive, kicking and screaming to the grave,
Bury me in the sunshine and in the storm,
In the light, and in the darkness alone,
And with each and every one of you,
Bury me a dreamer, a lover, a fighter,
Bury me in the sky.
