bones of air

driving home.two days of social interaction.two dear friends (one who might not know how dear they really are)
communication. true. free.
tears. laughter. chocolate covered marshmallows (even if they are all smushed)
dirty clothes. dirty hair. elephants.
feeling alive.
feeling the aches leaving my bones. bones that aren't there.
on the shore. in the sky. bones of air. under my skin bones that aren't there.
dreams. ceilings. chambers, through it rushed.
hands. legs. lips.
three years. seven years.
twenty years in seven days.
oh so quickly we approach that mound of earth which we know dead deep buried.
