For the month of December, I wrote a small poem about Moribund every day.
[The Satik letter for “R”]
I yearned by tide of night
for the soft rains of my youth
for a gentle sun’s light
for a home I never knew
[Rain.]
December 14
[The Satik letter for “T”]
Close shut the snake’s yawning jaw,
and walk sideways the world as god.
[The snake turned on itself endlessly.]
December 15
[The Satik letter for “M”]
“Light by right of Lex’s birth.”
She broke that liar’s koan,
and wrote into the aching earth
the greater Sonderoan.
[The river Roan and its canyon.]
December 16
[The Satik letter for “N”]
Strung up by Basedt’s entrails,
the grave beast showed its teeth.
For even as the Stormwall failed,
no man could move to leave.
[The great beast’s killing teeth.]
December 17
[The Satik letter for “Y”]
a muddy hole, the mountain sleeping
I, below the black sky weeping
[Sentin’s eye, with tears resembling the “rays of light” emanating from Lex’s sun emblem.]
December 18
[The Satik letter for “L”]
I got lost in the space between
the crook of my neck
and your arms lean
[Sinuk’s wide eyes.]
