Bleached BonesA Poem by Debby CarlsonThis silence is broken
and I consider all the voices in my head, just don't know if they're mine to answer, wonder if my fragmented self should even bother to collect pieces of what are my bleached bones, stripped bare of the pulp of my emotion- colorless I'm left in this labyrinth of twisted blades and petrified years. The dead do not bleed so there will be no trail of blood to follow me, but you many find a solitary tear. Leave it there, it may be the last of me you find. Author notesI do not know exactly where this came from but it almost like I am purging the past and then, burning it to the ground.
