I really like this poem Reimo, especially the line: “Exiled from its beauty, no longer mine.” Unstoppable growth and the natural deterioration of our bodies seems like such a tragedy.
Thanks Matt! The fact that our bodies are destined to return to nature can seem tragic. But I think in this poem, the speaker is also choosing to torment him/herself, rather than accept the inevitable and come to terms with it.
