Quo Vadis.

When the apparition came to form
It did so without any warning,
Quickly, queerly moulding the cloth,
Hovering with a great grotesque gait,
Snuffing the candlelight of the room,
Before slowly, shedding its dissonance,
Taking on a form, closest to man.

And so the Friar spoke to the figure,
In the old languages and the new,
Stammering, blubbering like a babe,
His hands cold against the old stone,
Blood trickling from an unseen cut,
Deep within the chipped, cracked rock.

Domine, Quo Vadis? Amicum, Quo Vadis?
