back from the tomb after centuries.
His face has been reconstructed
showing a young red-head, prisoner of war,
marched by the English to Durham Cathedral
to perish in the cold and damp far
from family and the fields of Dunbar
naming him Skeleton 22,
not the most romantic of titles.
DNA discovered poor nutrition
and his eyes stare sadly under a blue cap.
Perhaps he peers down from the stars
long since the Angel of Death came to call
thinking there's little resemblance at all!
