time for you to do what is in your heart possum
you are a beautiful light
scatter the ashes of your best friend
to all the corners of the earth if you must
paint the wind and the dust
his mighty wings will take it up into the starry skye
like the night she sang goodbye
and twinkle in the night to hover
above a ravine where howling at the moon
dance the possum
in the fire light
