Shadows surge the pulse of rain's
trip wire of barbed scathing
lightning cracks fissure in ripped fragments
that tears flesh of ragged earth and yelps skywards
from crust torn vapour gushes toxic
guiser quakes peeling ranges
down to tormented bellow heaves upon
the gasping desperate
late lunge
slips through the plundered grip
blood splattered slit -fingers
grazes the closing lip
consumed in
Fermented remnants rip
the gash flung skies
corse the tentacles clot upon the linen
and the dinosaur stirs glisten crimson
belated residue trail the
sunk beneath below
the graves of broken forked spires
that swallow brutal fluorescence
flaying rain nets that billow
like skeletal shivers that
gracelessly degrade before
the waves of dusk and dawn
that predator of stalking relishes
the gaunt entrapment
of sage calm listlessly
opening the savage reek of bones-blood
in full fever jagged between tallons and teeth
that bare collusion of the blade and lense
the defiling sceptic
that dried sin of ageless
skate upon a dark thin-iced opaque.
