This cage of bone: a poem

in poetry •  4 years ago 

Hear me howl in this cage of bone

I died a thousand years ago


Hear me howl in this cage of bone

I thought death would take me home


I wander this desert where the sun won't rise

And I lose their faces to the sand of time


I wail me troubles to the lounging snakes

 I've run out of ways to escape


I don't know how I earned this fate

But I'm far beyond wasting away
