Komodo

Prehistoric island beast, Drifting in the ocean, Heavy amidst a sun-starred sea, Dreamclouds hover kissing ridges, Pouring over cliffs, Shadowed maws in sunlight threaten Lips of sand on mouths of bays, Silent surf littorally nibbling, Eating beasts in slumber, Mist-hazed horizon dictates time, Waiting places Poseiden smiles, Distance closes over time; Distance closes all of time.
