Work Text:

my body a grave

 

My body is not here

It lays undisturbed

covered by the land

we call our home

 

There is dirt in my lungs

with roots digging in my heart

as the worms play

between my ribs

 

There’s an unknown peace

that death brings

The solace of futile living

cut tenderly short

 

I close my endlessly

weary eyes

as daisies sprout

from my body a grave

Notes:

Fun fact the main inspiration for this poem was the mental image of daisies sprouting through the eyes of a dead ctommy
