I found bones in the valley
White crown carved through darkness
A forgotten monument that once breathed and seethed
Bloomy flesh beneath many moons
The bones that I found
Bound with twine and time
I traced with my finger
A diagram I tried to remember
Skeleton, bare remnants
The body that remains
The bones that I found
Ground down to a fog and a mist
Ancient placement
The kernel of my discovery
Subtle shadowing of a dream
The bones I found deep inside hollow ground
I found bones in the valley
The owner to whom we give credit
Once contained behind final skin
Vacated camp at the bottom a dim ramp
