To Bones
To each bone lies a story
An end, beginning, and middle
The owner’s apprehensions written in the marrow
A deep groove sings of an assailant, a product of war
Fractures speak of avarice
Interspersed between the ligaments
A distraction lies bare
A way to alleviate what the owner was experiencing
And their own commodious stories
Still have much to tell
The consternation of death
The improvident wishes
Are all subjects in a bone’s story.
[Notes: I wrote this for a vocabulary assignment in like three minutes. Apparently it was good, so my teacher showed it to some people. I hope y'all like my piece of quick writing!]
