Brick and blood
The makings of a castle
conceived and condemned
in the womb of her parasites

The grimecrimeslime
Carpets the street
His land, his town, his world.
Disgusting, predatory-
His.

The night has fangs
The shadows hunt
and Hate is his brotherhood:
His brethren, his kin
His sanctuary
His kingdom.

No throne more wretched
Than his own skin.
