a pit. with people dancing. sometimes moshing. shirts torn off. water
thrown. the wine passed. a pagan ceremony that happens. every night.
wherever they are. and i dance. beat. beat. rhythm. dance. flash. like
mardi gras. but no fire. not as organised. different again. smashing
into people. flesh against flesh. wet sticky sweaty flesh. screams.
chants. then people crawling on the ground. underneath people. between
flying legs in the pit. starting to grab people. pull them to the
ground. kiss. feel. touch. the orgy begins.
first a few people. then more. flesh. flesh. people grabbing. kissing.
biting. scratching. male. male. female. female. male. whatever.
everyone becomes bi. everyone becomes sado-masochistic. kissing a girl
here. making out with a guy there. biting her neck. then the pain.
cant move. covered in people. hands. feet. dodging a head side to
side. trying not to be smothered. to move. something. feeling as if my
leg would break. so much pressure. screaming. but no one hears. the
drums. so loud. screaming. then moving. up. toward the top. swimming.
biting. kissing. as people start to rise. and dance again.
and then the drumming stops. the dance is over. so we wait. some
leave. a drum is brought out. a loudspeaker says to leave. but
drumming starts again. as more drums appear. people dancing. the
loudspeaker announcing. the show is over. leave. but crash worship
plays on. and we dance. drums. electricity cut. utter blackness.
darkness. but the drums play. and people dance. not leaving. finally
the lights appear. the drums stop. it is over. it has changed lives.
angie. trevor. mark. so in awe. amazing experience. the night is done.
and we go to sleep.
