I want you to scatter my ashes
at dusk on a beach near Lake
Superior

just as night slips into morning,
just as another man rises
out of bed and reaches

for his wife because she was there
earlier

I want the waves to carry my skin
out across the water, my eyelashes
to sink and my eyes to blink
from the bottom

that it’s time for you to return home
and kiss your now absent husband
goodbye
