If Graveyards Were Gardens
If they took away the box
keeping nearby plantlife from entangling itself
in the nutrient-rich deceased
would I still be scared to step over where you’re buried?
would the trees bloom brighter?
would I no longer feel awkward walking through a cemetary?
Would you fear the intertwining,
Or simply embrace it?
Welcome it even.

I recognize these thoughts so much. Thanks for capturing it here.
Cemeteries are filled with the dead who cannot come out to play…
