Mónica Ojeda, Jawbone / The Front Bottoms, Skeleton / T. S. Eliot, Whispers Of Immortality / Terry Pratchett,

"To fight against your skeleton is to fight. war impossible to win."
This white frame it's all that I've got left
'cause not even you could chew through my bones
I've got very strong bones
He knew the anguish of the marrow
The ague of the skeleton;
No contact possible to the flesh
Allayed the fever of the bone.
Whoever had designed the skeletons of creatures had even less imagination than whoever had done the outsides. At least the outside-designer had tried a few novelties in the spots, wool and stripes department, but the bone-builder had generally just put a skull on a ribcage, shoved a pelvis in further along, stuck on some arms and legs and had the rest of the day off. Some ribcages were longer, some legs were shorter, some hands became wings, but they all seemed to be based on one design, one size stretched or shrunk to fit all.
Take the thoughts that like the wind
Blow my body out of mind
Take this heart to go with it
And pass it on from rat to rat;
Take them, said the skeleton,
But leave my bones alone.
I don't get why a person's smile is considered attractive. When someone smiles, they're showing their skeleton.
All the remains of a cadaver of days
I keep hidden away, keep them there just in case
I wanna visit that place, blow the dust from the bones
Off a body of years that I leave all alone
