Bone and Stone

This is just the “Bone poem” I’d used in my Civil War short story, “Etched in Stone.” Just wanted a separate posting of it from the story.

I’ve visited Manassas Battlefield (aka Bull Run Battlefield) three times. Visiting that battlefield affects me like no other battlefield I’ve ever visited. In a very real sense…I do feel as if the Civil War dead are reaching out to me….

This poem was originally published with the above story in The Waking Muse #1, which has since gone defunct.

Etched in stone

Etched in stone

Take your place among the bone…

Etched in stone

Back with bone

Home is home and bone is bone….
