The Underground Bone Road

The Underground Bone Road

A Poem by Miles

Following an intangible route
I was brought to a murky cave by the sea

The moon, the wind, and the undertow
Were bringing soothing lashes of might to my ears
The grey-blue fog of the air was like an enmity of peace
While the salt and fish provided a conforting aroma

This is why I had no fear
As I looked upon a barren cemetery of bones
All piled on each other in desolate misery
Lost and far away

It struck me at an instance
I must lead these ambient pieces to freedom
So I summoned an aura of command and became their King

With a few telekinetic conjurings
And a dash of ridiculous mumblings
They rose and formed a single file against the wall
To be reanimated with a roll call

After the unnecessary ceremony
I led them out and about
Up the hill and over the hedge
Down the moat and upon a boat
Through the fields and hailing ravines

Until at once we came to a few insane women
Living on a mountain top
Cackling and screaming randomly
As one might read about witches

The bones demanded sanctity and freedom from their insidious cells
More than just lying on each other in a dark cave for eternity
So the lunatics roared for a few extensively perverse objects
Involving dirty animals and rare minerals

So off we went
Laying waste to ravenous beasts and horrified miners
As we collected our dues

Many nights past
We were growing tired and weary
So we told stories and slept in an enclave

The next day we came back to the old hags
And handed them the reagents in bags
They had some sordid affair with a bubbling pot
And danced like monkeys on acid

Then POOF
They threw some sparkling dust in the air
Saving all the bones from dispair

Having saved a random pile of bones in a cave,
I retired back to my lair in the Middle East
And woke up from a wild huasca trip
