The Abysss Triumphant, by Clark Ashton Smith (in a Hospital Parking Garage)
I prefer uploading audio files to this site directly, but sometimes I have to improvise. I have been recording audio snippets during the COVID epidemic lately, sometimes on my Iphone. In this case, when I was in a parking garage in a medical facility in Virginia, taking a family member to take care of an emergency, which was difficult enough during an epidemic.
What can I say about Clark Ashton Smith that other more learned people say better than me? I think he was Lovecraft's superior, certainly in poetry, but perhaps on par with his prose fiction. Here is a short poem by Smith, courtesy of the website the Eldritch Dark, entitled The Abyss Triumphant. I apologize, but the link will take you to Instagram. Shrug!
