Skeleton fingers
Disjointed, pointing
In all directions
Bone skin bandages
In a perpetual
State of peeling
Like curled documents
Still bound
To her living case
Between her smooth
Joints, scarred and ragged,
Is each encoded trajectory,
Sharply outlined in
Brown, naked winter
Her white body
Only softening
In the heaviness
Of sunlit snow.
