These Old Bones
Find these bones
in one hundred years
when their memory has faded,
when their scars
are reduced to gentle shadows,
when they no longer know
how it feels to have
the sun kiss them.
Let the life
these bones once housed
become whispers and mist
then, when they are
buried in the earth
they have forgotten,
bring them back to life;
tell them the story,
restore the memories
of the person they used to be.
