Subterranean evil Lurks in the maggoty pale light Of the sunless waters Beneath the insidious city, Where mirrored reflections And pungent odors reside: And decay grows; Where my forefathers lived With primal rites…and still do.
The horde-unwinged beings, Hybrid things, appeared- Lotus Demons with two limbs, Scorpion-like tails, thin; Into the volcanic river they sang, Enchantments, frightful things.
I wanted to ride the beast- It tempted me, with wart-filled eyes: Oozing at my flesh, staggered To my thighs-then disappeared.
I shuddered restlessly- Until it was best forgotten.

Lurks in the maggoty pale light
Of the sunless waters
Beneath the insidious city,
Where mirrored reflections
And pungent odors reside:
And decay grows;
Where my forefathers lived
With primal rites…and still do.

In the distance, called me….
To its toadless shores,
In this unhallowed earth
Cloaked in throngs.
There I saw the pillar of flame,
Where darkness was on fire:
Casting no shadows, in its
Calmness to death…
