NEW LIFE

When death takes possession

Of terminally ill bodies

Future flourishes

For the maggots who devour them.

Let’s celebrate life

Of those happy flying beings

Breaking through their chrysalis 

Among all that rotten matter.

Some of them will be

Owners of worlds

Of unparalleled abundance

And leisurely plenitude.

Some others will dream

Of becoming flying birds

Who will conquer the skies

And cruise, majestically, over the seas
