Skeletons make cool
Skeletons sell
Cool
Skeletons remind
Finality inescapable
Draped in chic
Momentary divine
Genetics sublime in youth
I watch their flesh adhere to sheets
As age shallows their supply
Tissues their skin
Paints with bruises and blotches...
I am grateful for my spread
The way time has treated me
Balance
Never too much
Never too little
I am skeleton no more
Hollow
Just waiting to return
This borrowed shroud
Expenditure
Into existence and desire
Procreation
Revelation that the skeleton is just God's
Hanger
For the costumes of humanity and beyond.
He scares me, this skeleton...
They intrigue me, these skeletons.
