"All This and More," Devil Poem by Mary Karr

Poetry Foundation:

Poem of the Day: All This and More BY MARY KARR The Devil's tour of hell did not include    a factory line where molten lead    spilled into mouths held wide, no electric drill spiraling screws into hands and feet, nor giant pliers    to lower you into simmering vats. Instead, a circle of light opened on your stuffed armchair, whose chintz orchids did not boil and change, and the Devil adjusted    your new spiked antennae almost delicately, with claws curled and lacquered black, before he spread    his leather wings to leap    into the acid-green sky. So your head became a tv hull, a gargoyle mirror. Your doppelganger    sloppy at the mouth and swollen at the joints    enacted your days in sinuous    slow motion, your lines delivered with a mocking sneer. Sometimes    the frame froze, reversed, began    again: the red eyes of a friend you cursed, your girl child cowered    behind the drapes, parents alive again    and puzzled by this new form. That's why you clawed your way back to this life. Mary Karr, "All This and More" from The Devil's Tour. Copyright © 1993 by Mary Karr.

eschatology

 noun    (Concise Encyclopedia)

Theological doctrine of the “last things,” or the end of the world. Mythological eschatologies depict an eternal struggle between order and chaos and celebrate the eternity of order and the repeatability of the origin of the world. The most notable expression of mythological eschatology is inHinduism, which maintains belief in great cycles of the destruction and creation of the universe. Historical eschatologies are grounded in datable events that are perceived as fundamental to the progress of history. Judaism, Christianity, and Islam all have historical eschatologies. Eschatology in the Hebrew Scriptures sees the catastrophes that beset the people of Israel as due to their disobedience to the laws and will of God and holds that conformity to God's plan will result in renewal and the fulfillment of God's purpose. In Christianity, the end times are thought to have begun with the life and ministry of Jesus, the messiah who will return to establish the Kingdom of God. Millennialism focuses especially on Christ's second coming and the reign of the righteous on earth. In Shi'iteIslam it is believed that the mahdi, or restorer of the faith, will come to inaugurate the last judgment, in which the good will enter heaven and the evil will fall into hell. In Buddhism, eschatological traditions are associated with the BuddhaMaitreya and with Pure Land Buddhism, as well as with individual efforts to achieve nirvana.
