please don't turn out the lights:

I hope when I die 
the lights are on

because in the dark 
I cannot remeber 
exactly the way 
the water felt on my skin 
in july and 
the moon won't be full for another 
7 days 16 hours and 34 minutes 
I hope when I die 
the lights are on 
so the fireflies 
don't feel shy 
alone in the tall grass 
and I hope when I die 
the lights are on 
I trace over and over again 
on lined paper 
and the back 
of your palm 
and on the inside of my eyelids 
as soon as they are not
