Come from Clay, Return to Clay

a hole dug deep,

for the disregarded victim,

a completion of the sacrifice,

but no mess left behind

for prying eyes to find,

 

In everything goes

for the ground to swallow

nothing wasted,

nature has no preference,

its appetite is endless

 

the criminal bets

on the rot, to continue

to feed the lust,

and save the rest

for dessert,

 

To continue to satisfy

the gods, a portion

demanded for every

prize,

 

Giving thanks, burying

the guilt, which does not

exist, letting the clay

have its way,

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I'm in interested in forensics and decomposition. I'm fascinated with this idea of decomposition being a form of digestion. Nature eating the byproducts of death.
