Bone Dust

dust to dust

Bone Dust 

 

blood- sinew

muscle and flesh

turned to dust-

what’s left is just  

tiny broken

little itty-bitty brittle bits

of bleached out bones

 

it once was a living man

with wife family friends and

a castle for a home

now it just bits and pieces

of dusty old petrified bones

on a mountain of dirt rock and

dead memories
