I know
I can’t take it with me.
The after-life
was after all
making you
spend your life
making life-like
terracotta warriors,
eight thousand unique faces,
no two alike,
to bury with me.
My memories,
and yours,
will be lost.
But,
mine were of heaven,
and,
yours were of slavery.
I can’t take it with me.
