If I die before you
which is all but certain
then in the moment
before you will see me
become someone dead
in a transformation [...]
I will cross over into you
and ask you to carry
not only your own memories
but mine too until you
Too lie down and erase us
—Galway Kinnell

But the everyday declaration of its descendants
That make a people equal...."
