D anse Macabre for me as Macbeth didst with Macduff, whispered the ghastly ballerina..

I gnite with your swaying body's passion mine very molten core.. Crisp mine bony swirling remains to ash with your tapping dori shoes..

S moldering Swan Bands, Smoky, Enshrouded .. Singe/Scatter mine tattered remains with the beating, drumming heart of your living, breathing, dancing anatomy:

T alented..., Lithe..., Acrobatic..., Living, Breathing..., Manly Anatomical Marvel that you are.

R accourci your en pointe shod feet into the mired, worm-riddled bony marrow of mine hollowed skull.

A fter, once thou too hast shuffled from this mortal

C oil, we may together ignite a spark.. A Phantasmagoric Conflagration to set the very sulfuric pits of Hell Afire once more.

T ogether in spirit ... Forever ... Phantoms of this Haunted Opera

I nvitation to Eternal Encores ... No Final Curtains Called

O n this .. DEATH's Nocturnal Macabre BackStage Production

N one too soon the wavering, distracting rays - dawn aborning - bring surcease with dew laden drips of watery light... Mine apparition blessedly, hopefully, dancing off stage left to the next phase in her eternal DANSE MACABRE BALLET.
