This cage of bone: a poem

Hear me howl in this cage of bone

I died a thousand years ago

Hear me howl in this cage of bone

I thought death would take me home

I wander this desert where the sun won't rise

And I lose their faces to the sand of time

I wail me troubles to the lounging snakes

 I've run out of ways to escape

I don't know how I earned this fate

But I'm far beyond wasting away
