A gray woman
Sits unmoving in dark chambers
All her body draped in webs
The spiders tend her tapestry

Does she live? Sleep?
Is her spirit chained?

When Meln’k is gone
Realms fold
The Woman Enwebbed
Lifts her head at last

Too deep in truth
Realms will cull
You may not like what you find
You may not like what you awaken.
