In Memory

It started with your death,
  this need to dig, to go into the soil.
It started with plants I did 
  not know, or how they worked.
It was a way to remember,
  to think of digging worms.
A way to be able to say
  this is the grave of someone.
Someone who I loved,
  someone who planted in me,
This love, this connection,
  to smell and till, and mix,
The tears and pain, to feel,
  how it is to grieve and be reborn.
