As I sit here alone,

Getting betterIn the aftermath of heartache's bitter sting,
Two friends appear with comfort they bring.

Soft whispers of solace in sorrow's surround.
Through the darkest nights and tear-streaked days,
They shine like beacons,...

After transcribing his skeleton, and then reading
His scratched-up bones back to him.
