it escaped.... Beneath the city’s humming veins, Where rust and runoff choke the drains, A siren wailed—then silence fell, As locks unlatched in steel-clad hell. It slipped its cage of bolts and light, A nameless thing that hates the bright, With dripping claws and breath so slow, It chose the dark it used to know. Down where the swollen tunnels weep, And broken echoes never sleep, It folds itself in filth and steam, A stain beneath the midnight’s gleam. So bar your doors and hush your breath— The sewer sings of teeth and death. For in the dark where lost things creep, It waits below. It does not sleep.
