Inspired by Experience Writing Writober Prompt: Torture

What will happen to my bones

after I am long  gone

and my skin has turned to

 a   misty dust  inside of my Sunday best?

Will someone dig them up and decorate them, would  they put them on a shelf?

What would you do to my bones

if you heard them calling to you, pleading with you

from the coffin where I sleep?

Would you dig them up, dress them and whisper that they look so sweet?

Not knowing

what will happen to my bones

from the darkness where I dream

is torture

and I do  hope that if  someone wakes me up

I can do it without a scream.
