Das sag ich euch: So möcht ich nicht begraben sein,
daß eine liebe Mutter meine Erde pflegt.
Nicht unter Rosen liegen, nicht unter einem Marmorstein,
will, daß man nichts auf meinen Körper legt.
Ich will so offen liegen, daß mich meine Hunde kriegen
und meine Lippen weiß sind wie die Luft.
Will wie ein Bock auf meiner Erde liegen.
Was soll ich unfrei sein in einer engen Gruft?
Will liegen, wie ich falle. Ich verzichte
auf diesen letzten Beistand eurer Heuchelei.
Gestattet, daß ich dies Geschäft allein verrichte.
Kein Nachgesang. Ich war einmal und bin vorbei.
Ich bin getilgt. Ihr habt euch um mein Leben
doch keinen Furz gekümmert. Warum dann um meinen Tod
Ihr müßt euch keinen letzten weißen Anstrich geben.
Der Körper steift sich, und das Blut ist nicht mehr rot.
Die Augen werden aus den Höhlen treten.
Und meine Füße werden etwas kühl.
Ich hab euch früher mal um eure Hand gebeten.
Das ist vorbei. Es stirbt auch das Gefühl.
So möcht ich neben jedem Nichtsnutz liegen,
dem ich die krumme Faust und das Gesicht entgegenstrecke.
So werd ich euch ein letztes Mal noch lieben,
in dem Moment, in dem ich dann verrecke.
Das sag ich euch: So möcht ich nicht begraben sein.
Kein Leichenunternehmer, kein Bestattungsfest.
Den Herrn in seinem schwarzen Gehrock laßt daheim.
Ihr solltet alles lieben, nicht den Rest.
