Bones

I first wrote this poem using a typewriter! Thanks again SiИ.



Bones


When I arrived
the Ocean -
swayed.
A turbulent pearl.
She embraced, whispered, tempted;
an unforgiving lover.
Fish bones littered the sand,
picked clean by
Laughing Gulls.
Bodies mummified by infinite
grains of salt.
Never seen so many fish
littered in one place.
Fitting that She would bring them to me -
each one
a corpse.
Strewn as far as these mortal eyes
shall
ever
see.
I took care not to trod
upon their fragile bones.
