buried in the soil
as seed
it was me

burst
as a sprout
you

withered and fell
as a leaf
me

laughed merrily
as a flower
you

probed in the dark
as roots
me

flushed ripe
as fruit
you

drenched
in the rain
me

sang to oblivion
in the sun
you

swayed and suffered
in the wind
me

dreamt
in moonlight
you

the body
nailed onto the cross
me

resurrected
as the image
you.
