Art by Hiratsuka Un'ichi When I am gone,
Remember to put the cover
on the TV set at night
buy only plastic flowers
for the yellowed-ceramic vase
over the refrigerator
lay a newspaper
on your shelves
before piling it with your shirts
bring out the Kashmiri rug
when we have guests
and glass cups
from the side-cupboard
and please don’t
paint the walls white
they’ll only gather dust with time.
