The prompt for today was write about something that had to day with clean.
Sun Bleached Bones
Sun bleached the bones
already picked bare
by wind and water current.
Not distinguishable other than
some small vertebrae
perhaps a cat, a small dog
or something less domesticated
that inhabited the woods
next to the Missouri River bank.
Rib cage and spine largely intact.
The spine snaked into a tail.
The skull was not as evident
some of it washed away
the remainder embedded in the
rock and mud finger
that protruded
from the bank.
I shot a photo of the remains
as we found them. I would
occasionally go back
to the photo to peek
but was turn away quickly
from their clean white image.
