360 My Fear of Burial

360.

My Fear of Burial



I fear physical death because I may just go…

To the fertile soil of light and heat

Where my organs and flesh the worms will eat

Like organic fertilizer be consumed from juice to meat!

To the barren ground of rock and dust

Where my blood and bones diminish onto the earth's crust

Like an old iron gradually degrading into useless rust!
