Incubatio - Akhlys

Above me

The stars scream in silence

Withdrawing from the Gorgon’s eye

Below me!

Below me!

Calling me down and down

The Syrinx wails in darkness

Yet I have sacrificed

Self to Self

Yet I have fed

Self to the dreaming Gods

I have become Incubo!

And my aspect is horror

Her dreadful piping

Awakens the shadow within me

In conjugal madness

Seed the death’s head womb

Of all succubi

Before the mare-headed queen

Drawn unto phigalian darkness

The rider becomes the steed

By way of the sinister will

A shadow formed in dream

Reborn as a son of the night

Terrible, wild and free!

Nameless with a thousand names

Formless with a thousand forms

Yet I name you my queen

And take you as concubine

Gorgo!

Incubo!

Syrinx!

Combined now as one

I have become

Prince of three dreaming worlds

I am within you all!
