Reliquary
        ----------

        Carry me in a charm
        about your neck, a 
        strand of hair, a
        tooth, a spot of dust.

        Toss me in a
        cerebral ocean, to
        wallow a few 
        decades longer.

        Carve me in granite,
        pink and enduring,
        and plant me in
        a garden with
        daffodils and mud. 

        Catch me in dye 
        and silver specks,
        and keep me in
        a frame upon the
        window sill.

        Scan me into one 
        hundred thousand sintered 
        dots, and store me on
        magnetic film. 

        Do this in 
        remembrance of me.
