Dices - After the game is over

Get your right and wrong answers

press them into a tight bundle

and light them up

into a big, roaring fire

that will scorch the crust of earth

and reveal what lies beneath:

bones, white bones, yellow bones,

and teeth, sharp teeth and blunt canines,

beautiful vertebrae shaped like works of art,

complicated pieces of marble

thrown back to earth

like dices, after the game is over.
