Skeleton On The Sea Floor -- revision

[Lizzie]

I love the use of metaphors, but I'm not getting the skeleton part either or how it fits, but enjoy the part of the woman. Maybe I'm reading it wrong, but seems the roles need to be reversed between the skeleton and the woman

Can you say a little more about the role reversal, I'm not quite getting it. Do you mean starting out the poem with the bit about the woman?

Sorry if I'm just being dense
