He opened the doors wide
And took me inside
He pointed to some bags in a corner
"Those are filled with bones" he said
"Some have only skulls inside"
"The Ones with skulls
Are divided into those that are children's
And those that are adults"
"Those, in turn, are divided by gender
And also by age"
"Then there are the bags that contain
Different kinds of bones"
"Collar bones, ribs, arm bones, leg bones, etc."
"These are also divided by age and gender"
"You see, we must keep track of everything"
"We must not let anything be misplaced or forgotten"
His earnestness pierced his tears
As he pointed to another corner
"Over here, we have the drums," he said
"Each one contains a different body organ"
"Once again, these are divided into type, age, and gender"
"Some are filled with body fluids"
"Blood, bile, excrement"
"I wonder if they realize how much fluid a body contains?"
He said, almost in a whisper
