Bone Spiritual (Luzie Meyer, 2021)
[From The Acquisition of Language & The Language of Acquisition]

i heard that Hegel wrote
the spirit is a bone
don’t know the details
only have time for the bare bones
admittedly
spirit is a bone of contention
i don't have a spiritual bone in my body -
bone idle,
i am
looking for the concrète
i am a rag and bone woman
can’t help myself
pick up on things quick
refused to eat until i became a bag of bones
throwing you one of my bones here
if it hits your forehead
make no bones about it
i have a bone to pick
i was bone to love you
hopefully you
pick up on it quick
i chose to
be an echo
now
waste not want not
otherwise
bone nuit cheri
