The Moonskull Verses Canto 7
River, in a fury,
cried out for lost Root.
Shrub opened the
heavy, stone catacomb door
and beheld a field of
nightmare dead,
the unlucky many that fell
within sight of safety.
Was her friend among them?
River could not search,
he was not fit to find
his husband riddled with wounds.
Shrub would search.
