decay

Decay

By JFarrell

 

As I sleep

My skin dies and is renewed

I don’t know the full working of my body

But I suppose other things

Also decay and are renewed

My teeth definitely

Decay

And this is just me

My body

My existence

 

All around me, around us

Decay

is there to be seen

To be noted

To be cried over

And it is necessary

 

Leaves, vegetation

Decay

to feed the newborn growth

Of new trees, new flowers

We decay,

constantly,

To feed the cell replication factory

Within us.

 

Decay

Is seen as so sad, so negative

But it is necessary

For new life to spring anew
