-0020- For the Goddess

2026-07-29

I buried myself at the backyard
it was very small event
only me and myself
with the Goddess

I buried myself at the backyard
because I was dead
and the stench of the rotting body
became intolerable
the stench of old rotting away

I buried myself at the backyard
one sunny spring afternoon
it was years ago when I dug the hole
right outside of my window
a hole big enough to fit the dead me

I gazed down the hole with a spade in my hand
rotting body
then I took a knife
and carved a piece of my heart
an offering
for the Goddess

covered the hole with soil
and planted Bergenias and other perennials
around and on top
now the Goddess will always have flowers for her
growing out of me

blessed Goddess

now, years have passed and the mound is blooming
flowers of different kinds
beautiful flowers
eating the rotten corpse of me
beautiful flowers
for the Goddess

Yours drooly,
