Why is the Spanish subjunctive used in this sentence?
The lines in question are from one of my favorite poems, "Mi Ultimo Adios" or "My Final Farewell" by Jose Rizal. They say he wrote it the night before he was executed by the Spanish.

The line in question is near the end:
Y cuando ya mi tumba de todos olvidada
No tenga cruz ni piedra que marquen su lugar, <<<<<
Deja que la are el hombre, la esparza con la azada,
Y mis cenizas, antes que vuelvan a la nada,
El polvo de tu alfombra que vayan a formar.
Entonces nada importa me pongas en olvido. <<<<<
Tu atmósfera, tu espacio, tus valles cruzaré.
Vibrante y limpia nota seré para tu oído,
Aroma, luz, colores, rumor, canto, gemido,
Constante repitiendo la esencia de mi fe.
Why is the subjunctive used here?
Thanks!
