To Bones

To each bone lies a story

An end, beginning, and middle

The owner’s apprehensions written in the marrow

A deep groove sings of an assailant, a product of war

Fractures speak of avarice

Interspersed between the ligaments

A distraction lies bare

A way to alleviate what the owner was experiencing

And their own commodious stories

Still have much to tell

The consternation of death

The improvident wishes

Are all subjects in a bone’s story.

[Notes: I wrote this for a vocabulary assignment in like three minutes. Apparently it was good, so my teacher showed it to some people. I hope y'all like my piece of quick writing!]
