Sickness, death, disease, rats, bugs, ***** fleas; Royal knights at ease, not trying to appease the masses anymore as bodies amass on the floor. Stomping down the corridor, black-gowned conquistador in court known as le docteur. Majestically pointed beak, leather satchel, utensils squeak as one two three and four the man takes to the floor- And Waltz! Clack the Castle door. The wicker-faced figure grows taller, grows bigger, and one goes to figure who first pulls the trigger And Clasp! Hands come together as one step by step, step on the gown almost trip and fall down, white as silk and black as dawn; A smirk met with a frown. Endless days, deadly gaze from beyond the red-glass eyes: A mosaic from the skies as God's son met his demise, idolized by commonfolk, glass sculptures embedded into walls. The ******* of angels, interlacing strangers; masked visage from nature in the form of bustling bees busy beguiling Byzantine baronesses, backstabbing brides, burning bioessence, ******** burdens, nature's reconnaissance. Tiny creatures nestled into wooden crates, by the hands of humans' race; the beekeepers their only living grace. The two figures intertwined Ying-yang dancing under starlight Snow-white and the seven plagues dressed in crystal, black parade. The court jester coughs and gargles, the monarchs paint the floors with blood, as the silk road lifts embargoes; a thousand-year old flood of plague-infested spices, time to roll the dices, is it rats or mices, who really cares, everyone's already dead.

Beekeeper's Dance
