My soul has become an archeological dig site
the excavation unearthing skeletons
and fragments of a past
not buried properly
never lain to rest
caught looping
in the
tines of the tiller
when it's time to plant
pushed deeper
into the soils of History within
seeds of a story told
to understand
the complicated and the messy
beautiful - but invasive
these bones still shaking,
not at rest
though the garden is made fertile 
now
from decomposing memories 
and marrow
their work complete
discovered
they quake in their death rattles
that look more like dances
taking one final twirl with a tear
and floating away into the wind
