Beautiful write. My favorite is the bit in the parenthesis, about the desert and bones and rains and dry earth.

Too good.

natalie,
This. Was. Brilliant.
Amazingness--your poetry is so amazing to read.
We need to talk more.

This is a very creative piece. The connection between Life and Death is very prominent. Everything within the brackets was my favourite - the imagery there was particularly moving and vivid. Keep up the great work. :)
