Changing Seasons

by Vikki Owens

If I should die
in Springtime,
bury me with lilacs,
and bury me with rose hips,
if I should die come Fall,
and if I should die in Winter,
then dont bury me at all.

Now that's a shocking statement - "dont bury me at all". Very evocative. Makes me wonder "why not"? Winter could be metaphoric of death. Death in the season of death. What happens if it happens in Summer, the season of lushness? Good one.
