The Consummation of Tango and Redemption


Open-winged,
descending through that silent hole of stillest night,
God entangled him in grace
and considerately initiated a choreography of passion.

Resigning his affiliation,
Stefan set fire to his inventory,
flung baptismal waters at the flame
and celebrated with a festive, inspirational requiem.

No one monitors the bodycount littering the dance floor;
such shells of shed acquaintances,
propensities and associated demonettes
provide incense within the fragrant pyres of devotion.
