In the End of Days

A 
ravaged
savage sea
seethes like lava
underneath the moon,
strange eye in clouded sky.
It stares blackly out at man,
bright orange iris reflecting
angry flames of waves below. . . Sun fled;
now all we know is Satan in the moon.

For Paula Swanson’s “Blind Faith” contest

"Oh, that savage moon." Is there a song, like, maybe Frankie would sing, or Deano? How about "Moon over New Orleans." - the savage sea adding effect. I think Satan was looking down during that holocaust. Love, Dave
