To the Marrow

Smack, jabber,

always talking,

restless, silly,

teetering on pedestals,

bent on presentation,

all vapid flavor,

no guts, no marrow.

Leave appearances behind.

Forget design.

Abandon adornment

as the sick, the infirm

have learned to do.

Crack down

to the bone -

to the crucial elements -

to the invisible –

to the boundless –

to the pith inside,

unseen yet alive.
