Bye-Bye Bones-- Premonition?

Bye-Bye Bones

Bones

Skeletons

Delicate bird bones, great cattle hips, long, long, long giraffe necks—vertebrae

Clean and white

Curving, rounded, pointed, sharp

Frightening beauty

I always took them for granted

With the crash

After the fall

Under the rock

Broken

Splitting perfections

Red, so bloody

Piercing my skin


My beautiful bones.  Ruined.

Writers: This was written a week and more prior to my recent medical emergency,
and strikes me now as premonition. 
Have you ever written something and then felt it somehow
...came into being?
