When I die

(Because I will)

Spread my ashes

In all my favorite places:

The top of the Zugspitze,

The Rocky Mountains,

The sand in San Sebastián.

At Lake Powell,

Along the trails of Cinque Terre,

& La Sagrada Familia in Barcelona.

Leave a piece of me in Istanbul,

Iguazu Falls,

& Buttermilk Falls.

Then take me somewhere new:

Croatia, Thailand, Peru.

Whatever is left can be buried

In the wash

Behind the house I grew up in,

Since that’s where all of this started.
