Melodies XLIX; The Infernality Of The Vourdalak; A Slavic Tale
[after A. K. Tolstoy's novela, The Family Of The Vourdalak]
The decomposing, fetid Vourdalak
creeps from unhallowed soil, in launched attack
upon its victim: mounting, piggyback,
its hollow fangs cause living flesh to bleed
the crimson sustenance that on which to feed
that thing's damnable ego's gaping need.
