Whether it’s borne on

A whisper, a shriek, a roar,

It ends in silence.

Death’s a foxy gal,

Rockin’ a clingy black dress.

Damn girl, dat scythe though.

Fast, slow, or painful

In your sleep or wide awake

Is there a good death?

You reminded me of The Order of the Good Death. They’re part of the current “death positive” movement. Interesting stuff. You always ask the good questions.

Cold bones lie beneath

Hear the rattles in the wind

An ice-cold tempest

I love this! It reminds me of folktales of the bones of a murder victim rattling to make themselves known. Very spooky!🖤

Enjoy:

The wages of sin

Costly pleasures of the flesh

Keeping score is death

I love that line, ‘the wages of sin’. I don’t really know why… I love that you punctuated it with that last line. Makes it even more sinister.

These odd proscriptions are precisely why I’ve avoided becoming a gentleman.

If the cane is also a bubble wand, I could maybe consider it.

Ah, good old Felix, he sold me a monocle with a fish in it once.
