laying barren and void,
stripping away flesh,
becoming whole,
pray the earth accepts my bones
the touch of the ether, a memory
fleeting, shrouded, foreign
there is no hope here
there is no light here
buried above ground
lesser than the soil
ever blessed to become the flora
a link in the chain reforged
