Last Wishes Poem by Abhisek Bandopadhyay

I'd like all my bones
to scREAM HEAVY METAL! ! when I die..
as headbanging hoodlums
rive asunder my lifeless corpse, limb from limb.

I'd like
my naked meat to putrefy
in rush hour traffic (but far
away from little children) , with all
the world and its scavenging animals
powerless to efface the spectacle, the stench from existence,
so you
may witness
and experience firsthand
the futility of prior experience and
the violent indignity of inevitable decay.

And
when the worms are finally finished
with their slow desecration of all my flesh,
I'd like it very much
for my baked hair, nails and
the remnants of hollowed bones
—to be used
for creating instruments of loud music
and subversive art.
