213: Regeneration

Are we scared

of finding our bodies colonised by fungi

that slowly rots it

from the inside out?

Are we scared

that someone will cut us open

after our lungs stop working

to find that a woodland scene has sprouted

from the red walls?

Are we scared

that we will be reclaimed by the soil

that we have slowly polluted?

Because we have plotted slowly

but fungi plots slower.
