the beast looms over land and sea like a simulacrum of a giant raptor made of hundreds of darkiron birds the green ocean foams dark gray the shadow of fire spitting wings the light flees flames rise as the poison tipped feathers fly inland from the floating ocean aeries silence then sirens along the black sea coast the flapping as the guided droppings fall bodies charred on the street trembling pinned under rubble buildings gutted the smoke of hell a teddybear mourns near a black body bag teardrop crusted running dogs homeless as the carrion bird with the head of a bear appetite the size of countries eyes western skies the beast of the desolate gobbling won't stop 4.0 10/10 © Brian Peter Hodgkinson
