Capsized

WELCOME FRIEND ~ THANKS FOR YOUR FIRST POEM ! It is a complicated fantasy poem in which a person capsizes into a river and becomes an integral part of the Water Cycle ~ on which all life depends. 21st C Man has opted out of the natural food chains and food webs and the natural mineral cycles. However if when we die ~ we are buried in the earth ~ in a wooden coffin ~ or if we are \"lost at sea\" then the ten (or more) pints of liquid in our body does become part of the Water Cycle and our bodies part of the mineral cycles ~ nitrogen ~ carbon ~ oxygen etc ! The mention of John George Haigh is interesting because he was the \"Acid Bath Murderer\" and speeded up the decomposition of his victims by dissolving them in sulphuric acid (H2SO4) ! The Subject ~ of your intriguing poem (who falls in the river) ~ is not dissolved in acid but absorbed into the river and ends up a \"part of the Water Cycle !\" Thanks for sharing ~ more please ~ Yours BRIAN (UK)
