Poems - Dried Bones

Dried Bones

by jadesays

I.
Alive.
I watched the sky fall –
Bright red sky and
The clouds cracked and shattered.

I dream the perfect lullaby:
A mess of hands and eyes
Amazing grace in stereo, surrounding me.

I dream a death.
I dream a yes I didn't know I spoke,
A feeling, faltering and flattered.

Warm breath in wintertime;
I dream exhales of crystals,
Drawing hearts in the frost on the windows.

II.
In the event of an
Em er gen cy
Please remain calm.
Tuck your knees to your chest.
Do not explode.

Please remain calm.
Tuck your knees to your
Chest. In the event of
an emergency, do not
Explode.

Tuck your knees to your
Emergency in
The event of an explosion.
Please remain-
Please.

III.
In case you didn't notice
This is not the end of a world,
Nor the beginning of a life.
This is Noon.
High Noon.

IV.
A scream in deep space.
A shot in the dark.

V.
One might hear how sweet the
Sound
The alarms and sirens.
Be ready, wretched

VI.
I dreamt I was the sun –
On fire and alone,
Watching from a distance
safe enough for us both.

The surrealism could put this in the broken fingers catagory. Love the repetition, wonderful. Would love to know about exactly you were writing. facinating job here.

It sort of hints at a meaning without being specific. Intriguing!
