"Their necks crimson like the red-tide
and in the midst of this rose-colored debacle
stood Moses, statuesque, his hoary beard crawling
with the syncopation of red spider mites dancing
to the tune of The Masque of the Red Death.
His tablets soaked in the brackish brine of the Red Sea.
Then Moses opened his mouth and Satan emerged
in the form of an enlarged Woodlouse
carrying a small red crib on its head
with a doll head inside the crib."
from "Paint It Red" by Juliet Cook and Daniel G. Snethen
