Smorgasbord

[kryptonitemonkey]

Winding through the halls of eternity
it comes from beneath,
stalking the feet that tread
in panicked silence and a quick gait.
Teeth gnash with the thought of death
and the sweet panic
that comes with patience
and deterimination to succeed at all costs.
It hears the silent cries above it,
and it rejoices then,
for in its passing they quake
and shake, pleading for a mercy long lost.
