Arboreal

In the forest
I remain fused with the trees
I inhabit the woods
With roots as veins
My carcass matures into compost
I nourish the land as my body blooms
Into a new life
Into a new life, I nourish the land
Slumped in the soil
Vines compromise my trembling thighs
I am arboreal
Spine turns to stem, I photosynthesize
Flowers begin to flourish
as the wilderness feeds
Swallowed into the earth
A harvest of meat Ingested in dirt
Then reborn in bloom
Beauty bewitches what is left of my
mind Wild gather as remains provide
Dead and alive, I'm seeding the land
Mould and blossom begin to thrive
Crooked I commune by my newly found mother
Her whispers of praise are simply sweet sorrow
Roots of the earth make their way through
What remains of my human
Form becoming ethereal
Slumped in the soil
Spine turns to stem
Wallowed into the earth
I am arboreal
Beauty bewitches what is left of my mind
I'm dead and alive
I am arboreal
Devouring my past flesh
Becoming ethereal
Crooked
I commune with my newly found mother
Her whispers of praise are
Simply sweet sorrow
Slumped in the soil
Vines compromise my trembling thighs
I am arboreal
