Little Bones

in #poetry6 years ago

These little bones
are made of armor
and calcified experience.
Edifying split seconds
of ossified strength.
I wish I had known
that my little voice
and these little bones
have power.
These tempered bones
carry a bellowing strength
that exceeds
strong men
in steel armor.

Very nice! I wrote a poem for today's prompt as well.
Here's to your powerful bones!

Good work, MB.

These tempered bones
carry a bellowing strength
that exceeds
strong men
in steel armor.

Love this one.

For some reason it reminds me of that song by the Pixies - hang on need to google...

Break My Body!

I'm the hard looser
You'll find me crashing through my mother's door
I am the ugly lover
You'll find us rolling on the dirty floor
Break my body, hold my bones, hold my bones
Break my body, hold my bones, hold my bones
Break my body, hold my bones, hold my bones
I'm a belly dancer
I'll shake forever and I'll never care
I'm a building jumper
Roof to roof you'll see me flying in the air
Break my body, hold my bones, hold my bones
Break my body, hold my bones, hold my bones
Break my body, hold my bones, hold my bones, bones
Somebody got hurt
Somebody get hurt
Somebody got her

Now I have it stuck in my head - yay. An old one that bursts through every now and then..

One of my favorite bands :)
