Run Away Poem
Composição: Marisa Narciso.When I die
Don´t put my name on the newspapers
I don´t wanna be temporary news
Either be the talk of the week.
Do the following:
Put my body on that plaza
Leave preferably a candle very close to my head
So I can read during the night.
Don´t put flowers on my arms
They die quickly...
Look at me simply with sincerety
And I´ll feel all covered with petals...
Don´t pray those memorized prayers,
Simply think of me
And I´ll feel
Dew of tenderness
Don´t carry my body around the streets
Showing emotional marginalization;
Cremate my body,
I want to join some calm cloud
To date the stars...
And If someone asks where I went to,
Lie I became a hermit
And went to lie in the deep blue of the sky
At a chosen place,
Far from all those who hate me and
Even further from all those who forgot me...
