Glow
“Glow,” a brief reminder that our skeletons will always come to light. Written Thursday, October 15, 2026 poem 288 in a series of 365 poems written by Diana Ludwick in 2026. Photo: "Earthly Glow, a Skeleton glistens in morning light, while an excavator awaits, behind" by Diana Ludwick © 2026.
Hydrate, exfoliate, floss, rest while you can.
Practice, pretend to extend, delay the inevitable.
But this, you should know:
No matter routine, nor hacks,
uninhibited by the furnishings of life
one day your bones will in the morning light glow.
