Skeleton Contemplation
ripped by eagles
who peck in shrieks of flesh strewn by wolf phrases,
my heart as barbed as roses as squashed as the bowels of
a roadkill snake while the
funnel oozy scraps so glossy/slovenly they
stab stab stab through a mania of flies.
my bare skull gawks chummy with blood,
plum-sized sockets fleshlessly tasked in unwalled night's tomb
to assemble a skeletal abacus.

The essential elements of this mystical vision
are the being divested of flesh and the
numbering and naming of the bones.
