Oh what wondrous profundity That undue consciousness bereft am he The one who knowest ensconcity. 27 May 2019
Seest Thou the Black Dog
As I was exploring the dark recesses of a Soviet era structure I heard a feminine voice whisper in my ear, “Beware, Yehoshu’a, for here is where the shadows crawl and the monsters gnaw.” Her voice inspired caution, but it was also calm.
