From a hand-scribbled piece of bloodstained parchment found in the ancestral New England home of Axel Larsson, I give you this bit of verse I discovered after the passing of my paternal grandfather. He too heard the "dream songs of the nightmare repertory"....
ways of men & beasts
in the reek
of caves
& the bosom
of the black earth
madness
copulates
the foul seed
of carnal things
writhe
& bleed
in the ways
of men
& beasts.
I believe Axel Larsson had undergone treatment at an asylum under the guidance of Dr. Locrian and ended up working at a gas station carnival near the bungalow house.
