Mementos

Before the lid is sealed

I am permitted by law to deposit some mementos

First I add my hair

Which she used to lovingly stroke

It spills from the edge of the razor then

Settles in disordered clumps within the box

Next, my left hand

The one she most often held

This I remove at the wrist and place upon her breast

The other extremities follow, all of thеm, for each one

Belongеd to her

Several bored attendants

Undertake this grisly operation at my command

After closing the wounds

They place my mangled trunk into a locker

In a few years time

Once everything has grown back

I will emerge and give myself to somebody

New
