Unchained To Bone

In earthen slumber,
there I,
(Is that me?)
rest;
a concrete blanket,
steel mattress-
so much attention to the house,
decayed, unmade,
while the occupant,
(did it [I?] make it out?)
roams free,
unchained to bone,
invisible, (such power!),
laughing, maybe,
crying, perhaps,
spirit tears on me
over faded piles of
plastic flowers.

Don/'/t know why but this reminds me of the aftermath of a house fire. Concrete blanket, steel mattress..the imagery.
How desolate a picture that all that remains are faded plastic flowers.
The gift you bestow between the lines is that we are life; we are reality; and absent of our humanity, all that remains are decayed and unmade leftovers of things we built.
It is a reminder most subtle to cherish lifeforms and not objects. Better to have a new friend than a new cellphone! Better to cherish living things than the tools we built to sustain us. Better to shed a tear than to feel nothing at all. softerware

Not much to add after the softerware comments.
Great write though. She has a way with words.
