When Opportunity Knocks

Uncrowned kings and queens of madness walk through halls burning with self confidence. Nervous incandescent eyes peer down from rafters unsure how their flesh and bone hosts will survive visibility. What do they see these eyes of ghosts? In reference frames made so close to images of what they know behind shields of darkness and of doubt. Drop into the heat with the kings and queens of madness; feel the flames sear your skin as color once more fills your eyes. Enjoy your walk in the fire below the rafters. For cold dark dead with no shine but smell will paint itself, perfectly over you in time.
