Underneath our surfaces…….

Behind closed doors, inside open ones.....bones are bones....they make the hands help or hurt, up to us..... No Black Bones closetfuls of skeletons no black bones __ white in the sun __ white in the night no blue-blooded person no square-shaped eyes no squeezeless heart ever beating no not eating or needing or bleeding closetfuls of skeletons no black bones

I guess those skeletons piling up in the closet would tend to get whiter and more obvious with age. A grisly reminder of where we all are going.

Do they disappear when we die?

Ditto what Odin eloquently said. This is brilliantly conceived and subtly executed. Can I convey my compliment: I wish I had done it myself.

Such a flowing lyrical treatise on a subject few could conjure up poetic vision. It vibrates with subtle subtextual reference to mankind as a whole, not any disparaging separation exists behind the closet door. Loved this simple, yet complex layering of reality... and of course a bit of Legun imagination taking it a long way.
