Skeletons
Let your skeletons
Out of the closet
And then
Dance with them
In the town square
In the streets
On the roof tops at dawn
Feel their bones pierce you
Become you
Make you the round, radiant human
You’ve been too broken to be
Until now
Mesh your pale fingers with theirs
Long, cold, like ivory
And to the rhythm
Of rib cage castanets
Do the Macarena on the lawn
Everyone wants you back
The silent, the horrified
Even the mariachi band
So make them delight
In your dangerous freedom
Your suicide ballet
Let your skeletons out
So they may make you whole
