i am retreating
into the bones of the day
the skeletal remains of the hours passed
display themselves without disguise
as sleep prepares to
feast on the muscles of morning
and fat of the afternoon
as night spends its hours
building for us a new day
to slowly strip away

what an elegant and haunting idea.
ReplyDeletei can't quite tell if sleep/night builds up or tears down the flesh covering the bones? I certainly love 'building for us a new day to slowly strip away, so I read it as we start each day muscled and fresh, and the day slowly strips us back to our bare bones... but maybe it's the other way around...
