SECTION 3
The next day,/after school,/we didn’t feel like leaving soon.
“I hate them/being thrown out like garbage.”
“What can we do?”
“Pounded animal bones can be used as fertilizer.”
“Who would eat vegetables grown/with bone fertilizer?”
“What about flowers?” This is how/five of us started the “Flowers from Life” project.
In April of our final year,/two sacks of bones arrived. It was hard to break them. Trowels didn’t work,/so we used bricks. Day after day/we continued in silence. “Crushing the bones of dead dogs.... What are we doing?!”
Three weeks later,/we had enough fertilizer/and planted marigold seeds. We hoped our “flowers from life” would bloom!
