A Midnight Soirée

Under the lunar disco ball


We moonlight as the eldritch


Insatiable, untamable


A kaleidoscope of the bewitched



Find us in our dance


Parallel to gravity


Bodies swaying, decaying


In a carnal rhapsody



The fire mimics our movements


In the moonshine’s reflection


Swirling, pouring


Pleading for our attention



Dripping down icy lips


Seeping into the dirt


Sinking, drinking


Us for all we are worth



The dirt, where we collapse


Battered and revitalized


Feeling, healing


Sleeping under navy skies



Until the sun stings our skin


That we’re forced to shed,


To join the land of the living, the unforgiving


Where all of the souls lie dead
