shuttled through tunnels
like so much spoiled meat
snuffling and a-snarling
the beast upon two feet
Minotaurian presence
half-man the body shared
double the size of normal men
if anyone dare care
he had no strings to tie him down
or keep him on the path
this city was a festering sore
’twas dim and dark and draft
it was another of their tests
this smarmy grim cabal
no twine, no map, no lights down here
felt along tepid tiled walls
