Men and women, on an anatomical level, devour each other from deep within.
Fragments of flesh and exposed bone shards jumble together, swirled together by some sort of magnetic field.
Chaotic power flowing from the realm of darkness overruns and disturbs the territory of Eros.
The shadow of death repeatedly drives men and women into a frenzy of sexual play, inciting them until the boundaries between self and other become blurred, and finally illuminating beyond their own disappearance.
