Old Woman Nature

naturally has a bag of bones

tucked away somewhere, a whole room full of bones! A scattering of hair and cartilage bits in the woods. A fox scat with hair and a tooth in it. A shell mounds. A bone flake in a stream bank. A purring cat, crunching
the mouse head first, eating on down toward the tail--
The sweet old woman calmly gathering firewood in the moon . . .
Don't be shocked, She's heating you some soup.
