Custody With Lucifer

LUCIFER STARED HARD AT ME,FUMING:

INCISORS GLEAMING HOT,MENACING-

BLACK BLOOD CRAWLING FROM THE RIGHT EYE

WHICH MADE ME GO TREMBLE .

 

"THOU RENDETH MY GARMENT-

AN ENJOYED THE EXERCISE-

HI! HA! WHERE NOW ART THOU?

THAN AT HOME AND LAMENT."

 

MY SOUL STARED,SHOCKED AND 'FRAID-

"WHERE STANDS HE THAT YOU WORSHIPPED?
WON'T HE COME SAVE THEE?
THOU CURSED ME TO PRAISE 'IM.

"NOW I SHALL ENJOY THY TRUST,

HYPOCRITE FROM THE EARTH-

AND MY BOWL OF BROTH BE SWEET

WHILE MY FURNACE SHALL ROAST THEE IN IT.
