Response to Kris' Improv

Kris,
Your improv emits a somber tone of anguish and death, a topic that might fall into the category of overuse; however, I think the speculation of the speaker about the dead man hoping that his body would be thrown into the ground uncontained provides a theme that could develop into something original. Certain lines captured me, like "too dark and sterile for names" and "autos / lined for the living." I'm not sure, though, about "a tree / bloomed above would lean from his ground, / laying petals into his eyes." Perhaps specifying what kind of tree and changing "his" to 'its' would help to make it sound more lifelike (no pun intended). Also, the line "all while those still living" seems to refer back to the "autos" due to the repetition of "living," so perhaps something different would work better there. I generally like what you have begun and think expanding on the dead man's wishes would be fun to explore.
