My empty coffin...

I am thrilled to see my coffin
Set   sail  in watery  weather,
It is not made of iron box
Full of ice chunks for there is
 No  pounded    body  to be buried,
No   scalp to be covered,
no  ceremonial  mourning.
It is  made of bamboo sticks
Nor to be burnt, but laden with
burnt  desires,  desiderata of
bygone days, in accessible ,
it   sails from this  end
  to  a   different long  shore
it  sails amidst  rough weather
but unmindful of it,
I too follow it
Hoping to   reach it  intact.
It sails, sails.......
