2012: The Apocalypse is This Dance

The apocalypse is this dance
In which partners twirl
Round and round
Holding hands
Two by two

To dizzying effect
Until they fall and roll
Round and round
One upon the other
On the ground

They tear at each other's clothes
To find the nakedness
They desire and rolling
Round and round
They perish in the fire

And turn to ashes
Which in a whirlwind swirls
Round and round
To form a formless
Dervish

It whirls
Round and round
Flaunting its sex
Its cold and cruel heart
Pouring blood upon the ground

And then the earth
And all the oceans and the sky
Round and round
Turn red
And every living thing
Is dead

  1. I took this photo during a thunderstorm at Canyon Lakes in Kennewick, Washington, and then edited it using iPhoto to achieve the red sky effect.
