Ode To Bones Grace Jauquet

Bones: the structure of the body, a house, or a plan. The bones of the house crumble when an earthquake unfolds. The bones of yourself that desiccate over time though never disappear. The plan that crumbles with a person that never out goes. The bones that unfold after the unfortunate. The bones that sound the snap before the remodel. The running, jumping, sitting, kneeling made possible along with others. The fascinating structure of the bones: either being hollow with marrow or solid filled with wood; even the imaginary bones. The structure of your life is the bones of your mind— either the unstable and broken, or the strong and mighty. The story of your bones is never truly forgotten.
