Bones: Poems

Alarm

Bones 7d

Alarm

My alarm clock breaks
The numbers freeze forever
Time stops for us both.

Dust

Bones 7d

Dust

Dust collects in fall
Too high to clean by springtime
I cry in winter.

Ears

Bones 3d

Ears

I speak for hours
Ears that can hear surround me
They do not listen.

#haiku #listening #time

God

Bones 6d

God

I look to the sky
And beg God for forgiveness
My plea goes unheard.

Paper

Bones 7d

Paper

I have a paper
A plan vivid in my mind;
I throw it away.

Paths

Bones 6d

Paths

Paths lie before me
It is too dark to see them
I look to the sky.

#haiku #future #introspection

Taut

Bones 3d

Taut

My veins are drawn taut
Fishing line beneath my skin
I extend outwards.

#haiku #existential #bodyhorror

Teeth

Bones 7d

Teeth

My teeth are too sharp
I bleed when I bite my tongue
I take out my tongue.

Wither

Bones 3d

Wither

I lay in my bed
The plants on my shelf wither
I wither with them.
