Ossuary

So calcified, so calcified. Robbed of marrow, rung and hollow. Bleached and dried. My bones sing inside. Sharp and brittle, flute and whistle. Deossified. Such music is undignified. Yellowed relics, cap and tunics, cut and tied. Muffled, cracked, metasticized. Planed and honed. Bone de-boned. Unsimplified. -Michael Mercurio
