Ultimate Transition
A villanelle I wrote in class about transitions

All things must die
Death is a transition
So more can start anew

A tree will rot and crumble
Fall and crush a Squirrel
All things must die

Fertilize the forest floor
Seeds will grow more and more
So more can start anew

Old will grow slow and feeble
Carnivores will corner and cripple
All things must die

They'll feed the females of the pride
Cells will split and then divide
So more can start anew

Maggots infect and crawl through meat
Suckling on nature's rotting teat
All things must die
So more can start anew
