Cult of the Bone

The cult of the bone 
the bone
the bone
Chalky and porous and white
as a stone
crushed in a cauldron
in flames in a fire
brewed as a potion
to cure my desire.

Inspired by Anthony Slauson

Absolutely beautiful! You have a very poignant way of assmeling words for optimal meaning and for rhythmic purpose. This is wonderful!
