I wish to be buried deep inside the earth,
Where the darkness engulfs and;
The worms wriggle and eat their way
Into my skin and lips,
And delve deeper,
To the nerves and desiccated organs.
I shall dissolve and disintegrate
Into the depths of earth.
But remain I shall.
And then some
Exploration party will excavate my remains out,
Fossilized.
As a source of fuel,
And burn I shall
Once again.
And you will subsist,
Only when I crackle into
Flames.
Kill me now,
For life has been sucked out of me.
And I wait to be
Born again
In fire,
Like the phoenix.
