When They Find My Bones


                   When they find my bones,

will they know their history,

will they recognize the delicate moments,

will they trace the poignancy,

the joy and the laughter.

 

When they find my bones,

will memories be etched upon them,

from the hollow of my rib cage,

will the heart leave its shadow,

or some tell-tale dust to mark its

infatuations and its passions,

will the line of my pelvis

give an indication of its bygone libido.

 

When they find my bones,

will they detect the scars and the mending,

the time of my passing

and all its laments.

 

When they find my bones,

will the spirit of my presence

reside with them.

 

When they find my bones,

will humanity remain

haunted by the darkness.
