Ghouls

Ghost of the whore died in the steets
Ghost of the woman passed in delivery
Ghost of the mother crying
Languished with her child at bosom
 
Ghost of a wicked man
Ghost of a boozer
Ghost of a lecher
Septenary
 
Living in the caves of the world
At places between the places
They are the nameless
In heaven and on earth
 
Falling like rain from the sky
Like most out of the ground
Creeping through doors like snakes
And through windows like a baneful breeze
 
Invading the heart
Invading the head
Invading the lungs
Clinging to the intestines
 
Gripping the hand
Larvae feeding upon upon the blood
Instruments of torture
Sevenfold
 
Living in the caves of the world
At places between the places
They are the nameless
In heaven and on earth
 
The stars darken in their places
And the moon turns pale before my eyes
As if a veil has been blown upon its flame
Dog-faced demons approach the vicinity of my shrine
Strange lines appear carved into my door and walls
And the light from the window slowly fades
A wind comes up
The black waters move
 
Living in the caves of the world
At places between the places
They are the nameless
In heaven and on earth
