Over My Side Walk by Amanda D, After “New” by Sean S. , “Waking” by JKD and “Piece” by Jill Darling

over my sidewalk

another rash half asleep
startling
old bones
curtain of body
****reveal and re-member

*********after**** burning**** through**** tunnels**** of days
self sinks
******back
****** into skin self
re- rooted and
bright as eyes

bones re-membered
no longer di skeletal or hanging limp
mildew flicked off
new ground uncovered
skeleton inside skin
perennially with seasons—thick and continual, dirty
roots
reach deeper into ground
