he carries his old
bitterness in bag of bones
hollow steps heavy
dem bones done walkin’

dry bone collectors
follow slaughter of bison
bleached white on prairie
driftwood shadows

time drifts out with tide
gnarled remnant of bare tree
left on sunset beach
stories etched in dry bones’ grain
memories imprint wet sand

lonely weathervane
midwestern prairie windchill
frosty windowpane
old bones ache in mid-winter
even crows disappear
