And then the storm crept in . . .

And then the storm crept in . . .

It's feet became leaden and tramped ruthlessly

through the caverns and crevices,
leaving a trail of deeply engrained
and foul-smelling footsteps.

A sudden light broke a stone wall
and shone brightly from within the crack ---
which grew . . . widened . . . obtained more breadth
The echo of the forging terror resounded
and forbade obstruction.

A wail came . . . .

The defeat was simple.

The echoing recommenced.
