Escaping into darkness and returning again in ecstasy,
The face dances tauntingly before me.
It is a void and empty face
That beckons me deeper inward.
The faceless form laughs and threatens, pleads and curses.
I am of a grayness encircling me,
But the face is all that I see.
I glance away, and it becomes enraged;
I retreat once and it rushes insanely after me.
It races ahead in temerity;
Yet, it always returns to dance its seductive dance.
I become locked in limbo
As the face is engulfed by the faceless serpent
Who laughs and taunts as it swallows the face.
I watch – the laughing face dissolves into the serpent
And darkness becomes entity.
