Underneath the dark

The selective lights

Ray down the dancers

Call upon their fright

The self-awareness

Is art uncensored

The skull and bones

The holy mentor

Their erotic majesty

Seems tantalizing gold

Yet where their pain begins

Is where the story unfolds


The author's comments:

I wrote this piece while working one day, bored at a supermarket. This is inspired by both The Greatest Showman, which I watched shortly before writing this, and the black light shows my elementary school used to put on. The dancers are heavily allegorical, yet every time I read this thye mean something else to me. Hope you are provided the same experience. Con amor!
