"You have been waiting,"

Satan explained with a grin

"In the wrong damned line."

Many times I warned

Of the river’s undertow

Garden forsaken

Wonderful sense of foreboding and loss. And I like the shift to a less obvious underworld as well.

There’s a king above,

But he’s not whom you should fear.

It’s the king of hell.

Nice! Putting the fear back in infernal!

The journey is long

Fire and brimstone lapped heat

Lust competes with Hades

On fire 🔥!

Hell's other people,

They say. But I'd give the world

Not to be alone.
