when life slips from my shell
left naked in the woods
my final gift, be well

organic putrification
giving back to the earth
nurtients seeping out
sucked up by tree roots

yellow bile, ichors flow
decomposition of flesh
muscles begin to liquify
the symphony of death

a banquet for the flies
helping propagate their species
a feast for the beasts
as my corpse swells with gasses

let the soil drink of my juices
may rodents bellies be full
the grass now grows stronger
where once laid a fool

Unambiguous and genuine in its gift to Gaia. Nothing more unnatural than going in to the ground in an expensive box/sarcophagous/being embalmed.

Look what happens if you're found - disintered, displayed, poked and prodded, ground into powder or burnt as fuel. No thanks - my body won't tell the future anything new. Still, a cover of leaves would be nice, and I like the idea of returning to the Earth-womb...

Bury me deep beneath her skin
Let me melt into to the world within
