poem a reaction to my mother's death
Blood of my blood
DNA begat to me
Flesh and breath and bone and sinew
Nurtured and wiped my arse
Cursed and scolded
Praised and held

Rotting

Packed in a box
Lowered into the clay, sand and stones

Good gardening soil

I kissed her forehead and stroked her cheek
after she had

dead rotten shell
she gasped and gasped
chain stoking
cancer
from smoking
chains of causality

the cycles of life and corpses
carbon
water
I breathe and eat and shit the atoms of the dead
Spirit
Jesus Christ or Jack Daniels

Bacteria eating her flesh
Breaking down the molecule chains
Bonds of atoms
Bonds of life
Bonds of love
Atoms alone move into the earth, the worms and the graveyard trees and grass
Trees make the air
I breathe you
Dust and I cough you

Smoke
Life
Swirls in chaos
Entropy
A bar I know called Entropy
Dissolve your mind in spirit
Pickled
