guts & blood tell me!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

what poem are you referring to!? Bones can be a skeleton, or the remains of something, as in only the bones of my love for you are present here or bones can refer to dice!. e!.g!. "shake them bones" Www@QuestionHome@Com

The core of someones personality, maybe!. I don't think I've ever used it as a metaphor for death myself, but "generally" that's probably what its used for (I'm guessing)!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Death, revelations, ancestors, things learned, sacrifices!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

all the above ^ ; also 'loneliness' , for me!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

What Mag said, he just got here before me! Man, he's moving fast this morning!
