Into the ground (poem)

We planted the seed
put the little pellet into the ground
in the distance a funeral
the seed and corpse, opposites of one another.
We put the seed into the ground so it would grow into a plant
grow into something that can make flowers or fruit
change from an object into somthing alive and pretty
We put it in the ground so it could fulfill a potential.
When they put the corpse in the ground it had stopped growing
It had gone from somthing alive, somthing that might create
Might be looked upon with affection,
into an object, a cruel parody of all prior creations it had made,
of the affection that anyone might have had for it.
Seed and corpse. We put them into the ground.
