If you should die before me,
I would build you a pyramid.
And each stone would be a memory
of a moment we had shared,
and I would think of you.
When you awaken from your dream of death,
should you chance to find this pyramid
in your travels, remember me,
and how I once loved you long ago.

Duane Michals: text from his work- If You Should Die Before Me
Duane Michals is my very favorite photographer. He is clever, creative and just as much a poet as a photographer. This is one of my favorite paragraphs out there. I could not find the actual work to post but check it out, as well as its counter part “I build a pyramid”
