Conservation (Pieces of Us)

When is glass is shattered Shattered is how it will remain And a manuscript, once burned Will never be read again- But that's just one perspective I totally get that you're dead and gone; your reactor spent its reserve And of everyone I know, a proper send-off is just what you deserve I imagine how you disintegrate into the pieces of your earthly home From the neurons that dictated your obsession to every X chromosome All of these pieces of you will find some other cosmic position The dirt we become is just another gateway to a thousand future Destinations From matter to matter From energy to energy Pieces of us persist After we cease to exist Maybe someday I'll meet you again in the feather of a giant predatory bird And in the ink of another civilization's failing printed word And in the silt at the bottom of some as of yet unfilled lake And in the fossil fuel as our successors repeat our last mistakes Our pieces will not recognize each other but that's not the point of this exercise This is how I choose to comfort myself every time Another good one dies From matter to matter From energy to energy Pieces of us persist After we cease to exist Oxygen Carbon Hydrogen and Nitrogen Just in case I haven't made myself clear I still miss you, you're still here
