Monolith

I found it frayed, 

Through the thickening fog

Bound up, tightened, slayed

At the river bend wall. 

Adorned with a sigil

This monolith stood

Neer-sight as far away

It permeated its call. 

Humming as a vassal

The ilk of its land,

Some praised while others feared 

What story became of this stone.

Long years surpassed 

laid against the slate

Erosion & corrosion

Misted the drab

Crimson creeks rolled 

from the ribs of the stag

Tied with it was the bones

So I'll stop where I'm at.

But if I was to continue,

I would've spoke of the site

On what it did that day

At the waters bedside.
