How long to decompose?

[lightthewaybackhome]

Favorite moment from writing this morning: when I had to type in OneLook "what happens to bodies in the ground" because I couldn't remember the word decompose.

Favorite line crafted: A violent, superempyreal rush of color devoured her in one quick bite.

@alana-k-asby I found a new word to use in our Wizard Prison book: superempyreal. :-) I do love a new word.

I Could Decompose

Oh, bring me to the water’s edge

And lay me down beside

The Earth delights in harmonies

We never recognize.

To think the land is vacant or

The sunrise blinds the eyes-

A travesty of horrors when

You fully realize.

The dirt, good earth, it comforts me

The air is crisp and light.

In meadow and on sandy shore

You can see it all is right.

let’s go decompose

you can grow mushrooms with me

let’s go decompress

and find our rest beneath the trees

they’ll mark our graves with stray sun rays

nothing else i’ll ever need

so say you’ll stay and rot away

in the woods with me
