Leviathan
We live in the jaws of Leviathan
locked in His tendrilled tongue, twisted and
gasping for air
a second to breath
as it's scaled spit scales across our head
the saliva corrodes our flesh with a painless
hiss that pours into our pores
We fall into the creature's throat
descending into the pitch black
We feel it's waning heart beating us
To batter of meat and crushed dreams
smothered us with lullaby
We are not scared.
We know what's to become of us.
A footnote of history.
digested over time whilst we
drown in its intestinal fluid
until we are spat back out
from His rectum with
our remains remaining
a fable for future kin
For God has created this creature
that we had the misfortune to live in.
