Found Arcana Dos

Here's more from the little red book (my apologies to Arthur Lee). This one's page was a little faded but not so much as to obscure the letters. Some of the pages in the book suffer from water damage, but amazingly enough the inks are intact. This one's title is in latin and appears as a coda to the verse's original idea.


Acta est fabula

Crude. unlovely
peals of laughter
shake the timbers
of my soul.

Cruel, inhuman
voices stutter
in unclean timbres
debasing and cold.

Mindless, wander
as covetous djinni
render my spirit
a thousand fold.

Mocking, virile
tones archaic
delivered dirge-like
my story is told.


A bit Lovecraftian in tone, perhaps penned within the stygian morass of some poor Miskatonic scholar's mind. More to come....
