(Orbital Debris: A. Bradley)
Blast off
From the lunar settlement
Orbiting moonbase
Looms overhead
Nuclear core
Ignites and consumes
Blighted dwellers
Hover lifeless in stasis
Internal atmosphere
Is spewing out
Yet the targeting course
Is unaffected
Bludgeoned escape pod
Drowns in moisture
From the oxygen rich
Composition
Towering spires
Reach for the thermosphere
On the bleak horizon
Plagued in black ore
Old Earth laments
In dismic woe
Lingering throes
Of this alien world
Glide over foliage
And into the soil
Leaping quadrupeds
Scatter the land
Outer seal of the capsule
Released
As tempestuous utterances
Spew from beneath the ground
In a scoured
Beyond alien tongue
Speaking inoculated
Truth of a perennial quest
Tribal clans tell
Of a chthonous terror
Where ancient structures ooze
Beneath miles of mud
They lead me deep
Into the heaving earth
Where an age old bas-relief
Is sculpted inevitable
A grand triptych
Of a celestial emissary
Unleashed from
Its hypogean gaol
(Hovering Undescribable Thing: Riley)
Enraged in translucid stimulus
Through divine emanation
Petrified embryotic dormancy
ADAR KAIMANU AG-KIA-ZI
(Translation:
Satur: Fire to the Earth spirit)
(Spurned Immortality Mythos I: Riley)
(A Riposte Of Crepsculated
Lunar Presence: A. Bradley)
(Tumultuous Meridian Occurence: J. Bradley)
Upon pensive waters
The beast is defeated
In cacophonous splendor
Vanquished
By moonbase cannons
Quantized
For moonshot blitz
It flees through
A tremendous portal
An astral conjuration
Plasma trails arcing
From garroted
Ancient spoils
As cystic marrow falls
Its cortexial cruor
Visibly spills
From the frontal lobe
Miasma of dying titan flesh
Its molten corpse
A harbinguous cenotaph
(Spurned Immortality Mythos II: Riley)
