Dans la mort de la nuit

Tristan Robert Lange

A vine wraps around

The poisoned fruit

And intoxicates the

One drinking its elixir.

 

Visions of the dead

Dance like ballerinas

On hollowed ground;

La mascarade de la mort.

 

The comedy is finished,

The tragedy an art

That betrays the artist's

Faux pas extraordinaire.

 

As time ticks onward,

The clock forms a smile

As the hour tolls in loudly

Dans la mort de la nuit.

    Why are you using plural? Also “mort” is masculine.

      Um...because French is not my primary language, but that’s no reason to shy away. 😉 This poem was calling for it. Thanks for the constructive feedback.
