Good bones

(hello, abandoned writing, trying to find it again. (In a real way this time))


Even though 


your flesh is rotted


and fallen away


And i cannot bear 


To kiss your cavity 


of a mouth


anymore ,



And all left of you


a head without 


a mind of its own



A bag of bones


void of its joints


and growing pains


and its popping


cracking 


and sprains.



I hold you close.





Almost like 


how the realtor 


Brings me down 


the street


To the rundown house


No one in their right mind 


Would buy 


A lone basket of fruit


Glaring from the table 


Waiting to rot


Handing me the papers


Who I clutch close,


Closely to my heart


Her words ringing 


Through my brain


Which im almost certain 


She’s told every person 


Who burdened to come here


“It’s not the best, but it has 


Good bones”


Good bones,


Good bones.
