Accrete

ACCRETE

-verb tr., intr.

To grow gradually by accumulation.























You can rule
Make it compulsory
To look the other way
To bury our head in sand
Wait!
That isn't sand.
Ashes! Ashes! Ashes!
Accreted in the air,
Accreted in strata!
No burying then
Or maybe just our dead
Killed by clouds
Killed by planes
Killed by rules
For economy's sake.
