The Catacomb
Cavern upon cavern
devoid of all light
Frightened ghosts scurry
for more comforting quarters
Crystal clear water
heard dripping in xylophonic harmony
Shiny rock polished by
visitors' feet
Disfigured skeletons held
together with blackened flesh
Stone tablets dying to reveal their faded inscriptions
Torch lights bring
form to the piles of dismembered bones
Marble statues guard each
of eternity’s planes
Iron gates petrified
by rusty rigor mortis rest in pieces
Mildew-covered
crucifixes visible through compromised rock
Welcome to eternity,
welcome to the catacomb
Thank you,
Joseph Pede
