Bones

as you drag these skeletons out
each one for me to see
i cannot deny their existance

i watch as you drag them out
of a hiding place so dark and deep
covered in thick cobwebs within

but as each is dragged out
the cobwebs fall and the dust slips away
every bone is of the purest white

as you drag them out
you explain the rotting skin that remains
and all the fractures and breaks

but as you explain it all away
all i can say is what i see
a perfect skeleton of white bones

It's also for everyone.
