Bones

Bones

 

 

Click, flick, snap �"

Clash, thrash, crack �"

 

The flick of a shoulder blade,

Beginning to fade -

 

The fibrous cartilage itch,

A ropey sinew snitch -

 

The rib riptide,

To whom you abide -

 

The cranium king,

The clavicle fling -

 

Sternum stinging,

Femur ringing �"

 

The bestial groan,

The lust for bone �"

 

The tremendous whip of death,

The mandible’s marrow breath �"

 

The derelict friction,

A mellow crucifixion �"

 

Death,

 

A lingering conviction,

An unpredictable prediction -

 

A lifetime eviction,

A swelled affliction -

 

A timeless constriction,

A sad depiction -

 

The last bone crack,

Now into the black -

 

Think back -

Turn back -

Push back -

Take back -

 

My soul’s locked eyes click as they spring open, discharging the last breath to load a fresh round of spirit into their empty cartridges;

 

I wait hungrily for the recoil -

 

Set my spirit alight,

Elude into light,

 

Actuality,

Sensuality,

 

Concealed by reality -
