Small Bones of Time
These may be all we have:
moments picked as clean
as I have seen
gull bones on the sand,
mouse bones in the dust
behind a cupboard door,
the fox skull I found once
in a field.
These may be all we have.
Small bones of time
empty as abandoned shells,
clean as stones
wavewashed endlessly.
These may be all we have.
