42 Grams

My flesh shall rot
So tattoo my bones
From skull to toe
Let not
One white dot
Show through the colour

And let not
These chains
Piercing
My face
To yours
And yours
To Mine
Ever break
Ever part
The blood swept from our hearts
No
Our 42 grams shall fly these shells
Our flesh shall rot
But our bones remain as legacy
