To Die A Million Deaths

I am a red Dutch Lily,
Or a moonlit Datura.
Just a seed, so plant me;
Lay me in a trough of earth,
Leave her nurture me
And watch me truly grow.

I am a seed, rightful
To be sown back,
Back into my mother womb;
Feed this germ,
Bring it forward, And
Birth this embryo.

Bury me, lets
Decay this rancid husk,
Free this fetus life
From the dead growth
Of what this world has
Weighed upon me.

I am a red Bleeding Heart,
Or a infinitely white Rose.
Just a seed, just a seed;
Just a seed, plant me;
Lay me in a trough of earth,
Watch me grow.
