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!
