Dead End

secrets told to the barest bones brittle
scream deeply to the crippled lives skeletal 
secrets living in the marrow 
in the core come to be 
become reality
they seal the fate
of the unsuspecting
uncalled they come as dust acidic
thick over undug graves
come to the most innocent 
most unwelcome guests
coming to the end
of all 
ends
