Return to Kadath (Free verse) by razorgrin
The tarnished Key waits for one who will take it and feel its heavy silver, cool in their hand. The forest starves with ruby eyes and chattering calls waiting for a traveler to drink its moon-tree's brew. Pickman, the artist, has forgotten the look of a human face as he gibbers to the ghouls in the tunnels. The circling night-gaunts have long gone to roost in some unknown mountain eyrie. Leng is desolate, its houses are ruins, all the people gone as if Sarnath's fate had visited the remote plateau. From Kadath's peak, there is no sound, no dreamer has dared to return.

earwigs are fucking weird...we should make a line of jewelry using them as models...it could be geigerish...like the necronomicon! we could where gloves and protect ourselfs, then find big ones and mold cast them to pour, we could use all kinds of different metals and gems...what say you razora? how've you been? i'll think us rich soon...yes rich too...soon ...love the line that the pickman goes into...have you read that book "ghouls" (the african variety, or was it middleeastern ah well...scary monster just the same) forget the authors name...it's early 80's late 70's me tinks.....i'll check for you...it's one of thoses hilarious horror stories and stary too...see yeah.

Hey razorgrin! Posting soon? Hadn't read this, actually come to think of it I may have overlooked your poems. Love the word pickman. The 2nd couplet is my favorite, even though "moon-trees brew" seemed awkward, or maybe because.

Soooo, you're completely out of heckles? I almost feel sorry for you, but then I do for anyone who can be jerked off by a ladybug.
