When all that remain are
My bones, how will I look?

The mirror gives no clue:
Try as I might, I cannot
Visualise the skull beneath
My face, joints without
Muscles to move them,
A skeleton held together
By nothing but earth.

It is a mystery I will
Never solve: how can I see
Myself when I have no eyes?
