sacred mist smothered the isle

and coated the moor with tranquility

the ruin of dead calm

a sempiternal bond to sithean mor

a black cloak shrouds her chastity

rutted by ichor

blood drops emptied

into the pilgrim's path

a rivulet of remembrance

immaterial resumption

mere attack become defence

the beseecher left with holy wounds

a quondam glance

abiit ad voces

a thanatophoric rite

cross-shaped terror

a grimace of amimia

the mask from the outer world

she had been to the far beyond

an expedition of no return

white stone transcendence

a daunting breath in the mire
