Monsters In the Mist

with red eyes blazing

they race through fog on hot sands

in a dying land . . . 

Barsoom’s white apes transplanted

to an earth where hell broke loose.


Note: Barsoom is a fictional representation of the planet Mars created by American pulp fiction author Edgar Rice Burroughs.
