Bone Tribe by Mary Bone

Bone Tribe

There will always be someone
coming to collect the bones.
Bones rattle on their way
To the grave, jiggling and juggling about.

The bone tribe is coming to collect
The bones
And there is always a bone collector.

Bones are made into wind chimes
In my neighbor’s yard.
The wind chimes whistle
When the wind picks up
We can’t sleep when there is
Too much noise.

Wild animals come up from
The forest hoping to
Gather bones and
Gnaw on them.

They are looking for substance
To fill their own bones.
