Eating The Bones
by Ellen Bass

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. — Ellen Bass

Unless we have that moment of chaos, followed by the emotional release of realization, nothing will be remembered. — Chuck Palahniuk

Integrity, like humility, is a quality which vanishes the moment we are conscious of it in ourselves. We see it only in others. — Madeleine L'Engle
