Analysis of Bones hollow



The bones grew still and hollowed as the blood weaved through their cracks
As cumbersome a weight of bodies
Fell upon their backs
And carried to the waterfall to
Fill its deepest pool
So the ground cried seeping
Through the mountainside anew
Its tears of teaming pain
Into the arms of angels too
And as they touched the sleeping
In their dreams it fell
And they imagined falling into the deepest well
As opened shared their dreams and a seeping dribble too
Like the tear of a god that fell waterfall through time.
