D is for the Dance of Death

La Danza General de la Muerte

Macabre fairies dancing round my bed.
Evil grinning faces beckon me,
"Come join our dance of death."

Hallucinogenic jesters,
Trying to seize my hand,
To drag me into their world.

Manic bodies tumbling and twisting,
Faster and faster,
Until my vision blurs.

Laughing, giggling, joking
Spinning around,
Inside and outside my head.

STOP IT, STOP IT.
SHUT UP, SHUT UP.
Okay I'll go with you.

Now you all smile,
With arms you do welcome.
I embrace the swarm.

Closing my eyes,
I'm filled with a peace.
I surrender.
