There was a whispering in my hearth, A sigh of the coal, Grown wistful of a former earth It might recall. I listened for a tale of leaves And smothered ferns, Frond-forests, and the low sly lives Before the fauns. My fire might show steam-phantoms simmer From Time’s old cauldron, Before the birds made nests in summer, Or men had children. But the coals were murmuring of their mine, And moans down there Of boys that slept wry sleep, and men Writhing for air. – Excerpt from the poem “Miners” by Wilfred Owen.

Silas, an Appalachian miner, and his Eldrich horror wife he found when he dug too deep. I’m thinking of writing out their meeting at some point.
