The Underground Bone RoadA Poem by MilesFollowing 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
