Moonlight Ghost
by A.F. Stewart

On the high moon eve, in the shadowed mountains,
when the frost worn light flows past the nightwind
and the scent of blood drips beneath the tainted air
the thunder rattles the expansive sacred sky
and brilliant light rains fire
severing the worlds between

Atop the mountain he watches

A howling host of death barrels down the mountain,
the echo of a violent empire, bloodthirsty wraiths
answering the call, still roaring beneath the moon
to avenge their dust-forgotten, crumbled imperium
with the blood of their enemies
and the screams of their foes

Above the carnage, he smiles
