Come see what I’ve found, my very own bones, that when alive were full of worries, but now are shorn of their filthy flesh, washed white by the rain, sticking out of the ground, my splintered bones.
But they aren’t glistening, it’s only an illusion of white. Having soaked in the rain, been blown about by the wind, they reflect the sky in fractures.
It’s strange to think that when they were alive, these bones sat in crowded restaurants and ate boiled honeywort.
Come see what I’ve found, my very own bones — and yet I’m looking at them? How bizarre. Was my soul left to linger so that I could return to my bones and see them for myself?
Beside the little river in my hometown, standing in the dead grass, my bones — and yet I’m looking at them? They’re as tall as a signpost my white, white bones, splintered in the ground.
