Ellen Bass Quotes

Eating The Bones
By Ellen Bass
The Women In My Family
strip The Succulent
flesh From Broiled Chicken,
scrape The Drumstick Clean;
bite Off The Cartilage Chew The Gristle,
crush The Porous Swellings
at The Ends Of Each Slender Baton.
With Strong Molars
they Split The Tibia, Sucking Out
the Dense Marrow.
They Use Up Love, They Swallow
every Dark Grain,
so At The End There's Nothing Left,
a Scant Pile Of Splinters
on The Empty White Plate.
