Laughing Amalgamation
Bodies in the street
Corpses, cadavers slain by the Lost
Collected, gathered together
Thrown into the pile for use
Do not burn, but create
Amalgamate into one
She is one for she is many
If not a Legion
The artist is a Photographer
He has the canvas, the brush, and his paint
All of his materials are in the photograph and his knife
He creates by hand what the Lost have destroyed
Reveling in destruction to create anew
Do not burn, but create
Amalgamate into one
She is one for she is many
If not a Legion
Heads will roll
Their laughter is sinister and insane, psychotic
Its reach screams and saws around and around
Produced from the bodies of the deceased
Black hair swirls around her
Grown from the image of the sadistic in the red dress
Do not burn, but create
Amalgamate into one
She is one for she is many
If not a Legion
Though there is more than one

Once again, here's another The Evil Within 2 poem for my 2018 Halloween Special. This one is about the Guardian from The Evil Within 2, my favorite boss from the game. In my opinion, the Guardian's design invokes Laura and the Amalgam Alpha, bosses from the first game. I actually wanted to write a poem about the Guardian last year, but decided to go with the Anima instead. Now that I've written it, I am quite satisfied with the result and I am sure Stefano Valentini would be proud of how well this describes one of his creations.
Happy Halloween!
