Malevolence That Became Flesh

Around the placid water Opens a slumbering dale thick with fog From which a grisly thing rose and began to incarnate In its gaping maw, each one of the gleaming teeth held the moon Moon that loomed through the gossamer of clouds above Weaved a filigree of silver on the black shrouds that veiled This desolate landscape Hibernating in autumn's deadly womb It was doom that crept to Sarnath It was the unspeakable terror at the doorsteps An endless lament of the mourners Malevolence that became flesh Malevolence that became flesh In the aeons beyond the memory of man, it descended from the moon Malevolence that became flesh An entity from outside this world
