LINITH

So few now call for her services
That Linith, when she visits Hell
Must show her i.d. "Copyeditor,"
It says, "Ghostwriter; agent;
Etruscan goddess of death.
Height: variable but usually tall
Eyes: fathomless pools of darkness
Or cerulean, depending on her mood."
She rarely visits her own realm.
Which is now a shadow republic.
Occasionally a bottle of black wine
Appears outside her door.
