Bad Women
Death
Death, that dark host
He is sleek, handsome, debonaire
He has the best of manners when hiding in plain sight
He takes with no compunction, as that is his role
He is the barker in the carnival
The ticket taker, the ride operator
The sideshow freak announcer
The soothsayer, the fortune teller
The thief of hearts
The harbinger of doom
He is blamed for so much sadness and pain
That of those loved, lost
The lucky ones
He is begged for
He is reviled
Yet it is by his touch that we are released of the bondage of the body
Back to that, of whence we came
