That you do so

Orionaria

For Donald Konopka

If one day I should die
See that Orion stands fierce in the sky
A belt of light, a sword of stars
A cloak of negrid cultivars.

If one day I should pass
Toast to me a demitasse
Raise it high to an upturned moon
See that you do so very soon.

If one day I should cease
See my war is brought to peace
Eat the fruit left in my bowl
That it may seed your pilgrim soul.
