“Bones” by Japhy Mitchell


The winds switch faster than
The clouds can circle.

Under avalanches of ink.

Saviours and Saints all
Buried beneath.

Invisible tombstones.
Prophets bones mixed
with dionysian delusions
.

Bound and bold
Eating them for life
Stuffing the fluffy
And meaty words
Deep into my belly
Hoping it sits well.

Does plot thicken the bones?
