garden in grass

by E. A. Pugh

don’t scatter my ashes to the wind
bury my body in a knotted box filled with ripe figs
bury me deep in the divine dirt to become
ripe with became

I've never wanted to be in a box 6 feet under, but the whole idea of being buried covered in figs or some other sturdy seed ready to grow is appealing.

I agree the image is very appealing...and disturbing at the same time!
