Bones

Any good poem is
only the bones
what is essential
to drive the nail home

Peel away all of the
flesh and the skin
nothing to keep honest
words from their kin

Any good poem will
speak of the essences
strip away everything
leave only presences

Any good poem is
only the bones
chew off the meat
drink up and go home
