Reactor

The Accursed Waning Ossuary

It lurks in darker monoliths,
And disembodied, feeble glades;
In noisome crescents to reveal,
Unspoken slabs of charnel shades.

Miasmal ichor of the tomb,
And aeons anxious gibbous sleep;
Inflexibly gelatinous,
As desperate portals lapse the deep.

Repellent, vivid, terrible!
The moist facades of sentience,
Assumed grotesque and obdurate,
Some damnable arcane intents.

An aperture of effluence,
Connote a mausolean span;
While shadowed cenotaphs repel,
The blasphemous array of Man.

Jason Henninger

Author

I'm the assistant managing editor of Living Buddhism Magazine, fond of philosophical fiction, magical realism and good ol' farmboy-saves-the-world fantasy epics. I write short stories, poems and novels that my mother thnks are really great. Now, if I could just get my mom to work for a publisher, I'd be set. Oh and here's a really outdated clip of me contact juggling. It's a fun hobby and may some day win me the heart of Jennifer Connolly. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFphHR8u01A

Jason Henninger is the assistant managing editor of Living Buddhism magazine. His short fiction has appeared in the anthology Hastur Pussycat, Kill! Kill! and various ill-fated and short-lived webzines. He marvels that he's not caused the demise of Tor.com.
