urban snapshots in monochrome : bones
One day on the way to lunch, I saw something on a road-divider that made me lost my appetite, or at least made me swore off meat for a while.

urban snapshots in monochrome : bones
bleached bones
on a grassy road divider
half done jigsaw of a dog?
the flies and ants have left
the sun and rain
and exhaust fumes
moved in to clean after.
empty eye sockets stared
at headlights of cars.

yes, after i wrote it, the word "stark" did cross my mind.
This is amazing! something good comes out of something so revolting!
Powerful imagery.
Particularly like "half done jigsaw of a dog?" and the last two lines stick with me, haunting me as they should. Nice work.
