Just Leave Me Be Right Here

The Dog Tag from where I lay

This is my chosen place

I get the good winter sun

This was not an accident

And it is not a crime scene

Please to leave me be

I do not bother anyone

The crows are done with me

And now I bleach my bones

Let me be alone with my peace

This place is not on the map

I came here on my own

I mean to stay for good

Don’t need an investigation

Don’t want no death certificate

Don’t got any next of kin

Go away, I’m busy listening

I am not even trespassing

My taxes are all paid up for good

This stuff is biodegradable

I don’t make any noise

I came here on my own

No one else is responsible

I have no other home

This is where I want to be

Got no affairs to settle

The snow don’t bother me

I don’t light no fires

And I’m not camping here

Smile back at me

Look into my empty sockets

Do not bury me

Leave this note upon me

Turn my skull to the light

This is how I want to fade

Go on and get away now
And please just leave me be
