bones of the sun
after your thrashing heart
overflows
when the pain slices your chest
like a shark's tail through coral
and the cut edges of your flesh
fray in the waves
after the dark tide
grates and spits and stalks away
wafers of pearl
whisper underfoot in the sand
bones of the sun
standing when your blood falls
overflows

Very visceral and visual, and healing.
