He said, the bones hold memories
Cremation can't remove;
I cradle your bones, the precious
Silt-glass reveries of watered sun,
A singing motion that circles round
(And every kind of hidden weather)
Nothing's dead, so long as bones live-
Survival's inexact, because those bones
Still whisper days, that now are gone.
You're right, we are not completely inexistent in the matter, as long as the bones are still existent. This matter is self aware , because it has consciousness, so the bones may whisper-great poem, Patti, thank you for sharing.
