Hold onto me as my roots grow longer

As they twist and warp and burrow

My corpses piling up

Gathering like sticks 

Then burning down to ashes

Eventually 

How skeletons roam the earth freely 

Rent-free

Paper  bones

Straw skull

Existing precariously till they’re

Blow away

Till they’re burnt

Used as kindling by the world

Their bodies disposable 

Perpetually smoldering
