Oubliette
See next the ruins the ages left-
walls stained and bulging,
shadows.
What secrets concealed
under Time's patina,
what horrors shrouded?
Look past the gloom of the centuries-
see now the remains,
some broken, some dust;
Bones of the long ago dead,
hidden,
in this little place
of forgetting.
walls stained and bulging,
shadows.
What secrets concealed
under Time's patina,
what horrors shrouded?
Look past the gloom of the centuries-
see now the remains,
some broken, some dust;
Bones of the long ago dead,
hidden,
in this little place
of forgetting.
