The Dead Love The Earth Poem by Patti Masterman

The Dead Love The Earth



The dead make love to the earth,
Mingling their atoms in death,
Suffusing the soil of their birth-
Using up everything left.

The dead have a pact with the living,
That nothing should go to waste;
So all their body they're giving
That others of life have a taste..
