Skeletons
My cereal bowl holds stale lucky charms and
Milk white atrocities
Bathing away the cobwebs
Of spiders better left alone
I put my bowl in the sink
The entryway is dusted with
Forever unfamiliar faces
Someone else is walking a mile in my shoes
I decide to go barefoot
My purse hides fossils
Found along the way
I put them with the others on my closet.
My bones rattle in reunion.
