Bones
I am only bones here
I am only bones
To open jaw
Gaping clack and click
Monstrous sockets
See hollow
See darkened deep for eyes
Seeing no purpose for flesh without fate
Without the spiritual meat
Godliness
Without agape to limber the ligament
(and I fall carelessly, easily into my stride.... without cause to gawk and gawk again over my shoulder and forward again)
(and over wing like a bird, smooth movement over wing without hesitation... no falsehood in my transition, only smooth movement over wing)
I am only bones here
I am only bones
That wear on stone the callous of pearl
Or alter themselves, the appearance of sediment
When horizontal I am a torrent bed
When vertical, hollows to see the horizon
(and the labyrinth life lay below me, and I see the beginning as it attaches itself to the middle, and into the end without fear... my view from a face that turns over wing.. smoothly.)
