yog-sothoth 5 :
cage

there
in the dark
crystal bound
shadow shaped
like a furry spider
yellow eyed
smiling
with a thousand sharp edged
teeth
smile, and smile

thunder rolls
lightning strikes another tree
fires another roof
the clouds assault us
and the night howls

the gremlin grinned
and stabbed
and screamed
in my dreams

'no, no, and no!'
and no, i told it-
no blood
no bone
no burial-
scream all you like
pitiless paindrinker
-change,
or remain
