~Sappy Daze~ Day 22

Keep Digging 

I caressed the rocks as if I 
were stroking a baby’s head-- 
unwilling, fearful of evoking 
its cries. Even brushing 
the surface made me cringe. 

I closed my eyes, unwilling 
to uncover these ancient 
bones buried deep 
underground for eons. 

Investigating the remains 
of an animal, the truth behind its 
death, and whether it 
was a tragedy or deserved.
