The bones that I found

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
