  The Bone Museum

                     By Dóra Wohner

  

Among all the bones and nerves

and ancient stories of dinosaurs

we see how nature whirls

and what time pours

from veins of instinctual animals

Hidden by a case of reptilian spine

your arms are close to mine

when the light expands

upon hominid hands

and roaring replicas of jaws

I heard the notes

flowing from your fingers

while reading that sperms

dig deep into the giant ovum

and cat claws can be interwoven

just like our hands.
