Mingling their atoms in death, <br />Suffusing the soil of their birth- <br />Using up everything left. <br /> <br />The dead have a pact with the living, <br />That nothing should go to waste; <br />So all their body they're giving <br />That others of life have a taste..<br /><br />Patti Masterman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-dead-make-love-to-the-earth/
