Fleeing, thorns tear at the skin

Followed, shape changing at a whim

Coddled, nothing known of the wild

Cadaverous, shrouded as a child

Clandestine, bel-esprit defiled

Conspirator, shape changing all the while

Swimming through the blackthorn, a red mist trailing

Shape changing as it gains, evil is prevailing

Shadows bleed from sunken eyes, swallowing the face

A shape forever changing, soon it will erase

Enfeebled, years of affected light

Extralinguistic, naught but sounds in the night

Adulation, no matter how fiery

Achromatic, unaffected entirely

Amorphous, a creeping topiary

Aggregate, shape changing, lapidary

Swimming through the blackthorn, a red mist trailing

Shape changing as it gains, evil is prevailing

Shadows bleed from sunken eyes, swallowing the face

A shape forever changing, soon it will erase

Trepidation, blood soaked strips of cloth

Transmutation, shape changing and wroth

Perspiration, ravenous fetid and sour

Pursuing, intent to devour

Paralyzing, prey outdone will cower

Propagation, abuse of power

Swimming through the blackthorn, a red mist trailing

Shape changing as it gains, evil is prevailing

Shadows bleed from sunken eyes, swallowing the face

A shape forever changing, soon it will erase

Nameless and faceless, forever unknown

Silent and formless, a cosmic drone
