Antarctic thaw

Cyclopean ruins

Tunnels to the sunless sea

Something moves in darkness

a shoggoth emerged from the sea
loathsome as any could be
its makers revived
their innards imbibed
by madness from underground sea

Shoggoths? I don't believe they exist!

cyclopean ruins
dating to when Antarctica was warm
tunnels bore deep
hieroglyphic tales carved mile after mile
in the lower lithosphere
walls defaced by graffiti
a warm wind from the nether reaches

what is that stench?

an animated shell
a ropy struggling mass
and in the earth, things
turn him in his grave

Dreams and Cats

What He Doesn't Say


I think my cat's been to Ulthar
he visits pretty regularly
he has that "Don't Mess With Ulthar" air
about him in the morning
when he comes in
he's not afraid of ghouls
and I can tell that night gaunts
know his name

The clincher, though:
my neighbor dreamed of a city
full of cats
most of them were black like mine
they seemed to know her
rubbed against her like my cat does
kept her safe; she's sure they chased away
several kinds of hungry things
the city's name? "Uther" she said
"or something"

an echoic gulf
that which bays
