detritus

my fingers curl up stiff
at the ends of my hands

like dead branches
dropped by some ancient
life giver

outlived their purpose
extra baggage
abandoned
dry and scaling

my dreams
produce foam
which is a static
of sorts
denying the story
I long to tell

the bones snap
like twigs
under foot
I'm crisp
and winter beckons
