preserved death

toppled gravestone
covered by grass
living in death
rotten carcass
maggots
and worms

packed soil
bearing down
imprints of life
in dying
preserved

roots coiling
reaching out
moisture
and death
lost ages
years gone
darkness
cloak of night
choking embrace
sinking into dirt

words erased
eroded
sun, wind, rain
time

toppled gravestone
covered by grass
