I can see my hip bones for

The first time in years.

It took me weeks to dig them up

Out of all the fat

That had been covering me

For so long.

I am an archaeologist

I discover new bones in

My own body every day that

Haven't been seen in years.

I take to them with a

Feather duster and

Polish them until they shine

And even after that

I keep digging.

Even if

There is nothing left to get

Rid of.

W.L.
