These Bones

These bones lie still

in graves dug out of

Pity.

The bones they shake

in shallow holes

meant to cover up

Dirty secrets

They shutter and break

Bones made of brittle

My bones lie still

in shallow graves

meant for another

These bones

they lie on solid ground

as the earth crumbles

swallowing them whole.

I'm not sure what to say about this one. I like the "Pity" line. I understood it as a good double use of the word. Otherwise, if I understood all proper, it is a good reflection about being ephemeral. Keep up the awesome!
