Antibodies

Bodies, fully botoxed, and the ultimate rite of passage;

The realm of an ego’s knowing is to be without replicas;

Skin is lacquered and supple, with no hint of mortality;

Exclusive eternity that’s promised to those perfect souls;  

Refusing to read the fine print in the contract with death.

Bark, bark at the barkers barking back.   Barking at bloody crosses to which believers cling. Barking, disturbed ones, until fate guts their sting.     Bark, the angry ones, spitting words at shadows. Barkers bark, lest defeat intervenes and cripples.
