"Annelida"
Location
'Tis a Lethean shore
Written upon a writhing worm ---
A half-winged bedight seraph of yore
Coos, in a butterfly's term,
Amidst a nebulous crowd, hearing
A choir of gilt and firm,
Of those Titanic Condor pinions, now peering,
To the spheres of their eyes squirm.
There, in the zenith reigns up highly trod
Onto the bloody Welkin-view imbrued
One of Maia's seven stars of God, ---
And, in gory flesh imbued,
Annelida, thus, withering alive
Within and out intrude! ---
Immured within the dementia brain survive
It's silent solitude!
Now, azure moths pallidly scatter like bats,
Madness was all it got!
With an winged-scent off the sewer rats, ---
Manichaean mounted terror shot
From Erinyes' wrath, the tresses of the serpentine woman,
Sizzling a more veil ink burning hot
From her mouth unto the visages of a mortal human ---
Madness was all they got!
And Lo! Amidst the hectic crowd
A crawling form, still and wan,
With crimson gashes through it's teeth shout loud
The name --- the accursed name of Satan!
Risen from the Sheol titanically
The Old Serpent fool to Man ---
Now glares down upon all gigantically
And devours what He can!
The fiery Halo between Sheol and Heaven
Has perished from that final hour
Where the Old writhing Serpent driven
From all things He hath devour
Far down bellow under His domain given,
And out! --- Out was of something
Lingering within his fleshly brain striven
That obliterated all to nothing!
And now, Annelida, withering alive
Within and out intrude! ---
Immured where nothingness survive
It's silent solitude!
