Hello Duke,
There are some interesting ideas floated in this poem that make for an engaging read.
It is plainly put, quite literally, and the message is crystal clear.
'where are their bones?' - I'm not sure if their bones would naturally survive (for perhaps, 2000 years) - but special conditions might preserve them - air-locked in mud pools or glaziers etc?
And if the flesh is being fed to the dogs, why not the bones? - a possible answer to the mystery?
I like the last verse, regarding the possible fate of the bones, and perhaps this idea can be expanded on - the bones that were thrown away and naturally preserved - and lay undiscovered.
Thanks for sharing...............P
