They say it's best to remove dead parts from a plant
I have no understanding of the biological reasons for this
But it makes intuitive sense to me
When something has died and remained attached
It deserves to move into its next phase of existence
And the living must go on
Possibly with periodic visits to its cemetery
This brown piece that came away with no argument
Instead of unceremoniously dropping it in the trash
I will place it gently in the lawn
Not so that I might see it again
But so that life and death might both find their homes
