Today Death dyed
his leaden beard
and deadened
tresses molten yellow –
hoping to
embolden his pale indigo
complexion into
seeming closer to alive.
From time to
time Death strives to be
the sort of
fellow breathing beings might
not, at the barest
thought of him, abhor.
But when we catch
him trying to pretend
he isn’t Death we just abhor him more..
