The Bleeding Bones

Flowing like river
Meandering between the shrubs
Flowing, dripping unending river
Where from? Where to?
Not shallow these waters
Die will it not
Hot scorching rays cannot dry it up
Though dripping
Trees are singing
Leaves are clapping
The lilies are laughing
The cactus is dancing
But
The river is flowing, crying
Appalling the sounds she produces
Her cronies antagonist her
Her bones are drying and bleeding
Her soul smashed
Her heart beat trampled
Her flesh torn apart
No! Oh No! Oh no!
Bleeding bones
