decomposing, fertilizer an altruistic killer new plants grow from flesh does it have my anxiety? my oddly sharp canines? when the creatures of the forest eat from me will they relive my memories a lion in a classroom a caterpillar taking antidepressants a bird mourning a love. if i give my blood to water a plant my life had meaning a knife entered me, and i gained time my spine extends as the trunk of the tree off white, stands out from the green there are six minutes of brain activity after the body is dead whats the difference between neurons and chlorophyll perhaps in the wilderness man turns wild why do serial killers leave remains in the forest? a chaotic mirror, compulsion to **** nature is both a hiding place and my confessional booth before i grew, my eyes met my killer the glimmer of their smile in the darkness their canines were sharp too.
