Le Voyage Magnifique

Satan's Performing Arts Center

When the sun goes down,
the curtain goes up on Satan's nocturnal operetta,
where spirits of the night
join their voices in a chorus of cacophonic extravaganza,
as miasmic vapors
billow forth across the haunted landscape.

Creepy crawlers,
attracted by the pandemonium echoing
around the mausoleum,
congregate
among the tangled vines of ancient blasphemies,
slithering, gyrating, and swaying
in a mesmerizing ballet
choreographed by Satan himself,
until the rising sun
drops the curtain of light
on the stage of this Bacchanalian festival.
