Skeleton
This morning I woke to find
My skeleton had left
Climbed out of my body
Through an open window
And out into the world.
I closed my eyes and discovered
I could see
Through the black sockets
Of my lost skull
As my skeleton roamed the streets
Clattering into dustbins
Tripping over loose paving stones
Staring into windows
As strangers slept
And finally, sitting alone
On a bench
Overlooking the expanse
The waking lights
As the city came to life
My skeleton began to crumble
Bone by bone, dust into air
With no-one to witness the end
I became nothing.
