Viciously beautiful. Never has one single person ever written such a tantalizing peom about the apocolypse. God has wrath and it is described very well here. Definately viciously beautiful.

There's some great fire images here. I did find it a bit rambling though; in my opinion it could do with some editing. Sean

He speaks about the more like apocalypse - as if a cosmic cataclysm in which God destroys the powers of evil. What a catastrophe. This was a tragedy.

very compeling. a claustrophobic sense of closeness creeps upon you as the poem progresses.
