Throw Me In

© 1998 by Eric Dahl

She said, “I don’t need a statue or a pyramid,
no fancy tomb when I die.
Just open the box and throw me in
so I can love him for the rest of the night,
love him for the rest of the night.”

Middle of the night middle of nowhere
drinking with some buskers by a fire at the inn.
One wore a skull ring the other drew legends.
We talked about funeral stones in the wind.
Talked about stones in the wind.

“I don’t need a statue or a pyramid . . . .”

Told them bout a tomb in a Wessex cathedral,
the stones and the bones and one glass jar.
You could tell by the bones and where the jar rested
that it once held the heart of a star,
once held the heart of a star.

“I don’t need a statue or a pyramid . . . .”

Find me a block of Connemara marble,
carve two lovers together in bed,
with a line from a poet about the heart’s affection
and how it keeps wakin the dead,
how it keeps wakin the dead.

“I don’t need a statue or a pyramid,
no fancy tomb when I die,
just open the box and throw me in
so I can love him for the rest of the night,
love him for the rest of the night.”
