Strzyga
When Ivan the Terrible was born before he was even two
They said of teeth he had two
Tatars said with one he will devour us
With other he will devour you
When child is born with two sets of teeth their soul
Supposedly will be black as coal
They will have more than one soul
And when killed they will become creature no one can control
Only one soul from the body will flow
Second will stay and monster whose eyes can glow
That can move faster than wind will blow
Will be born and her appetite for human flesh will grow
She can only be killed by removing head and the heart
And burying them from rest of the body far apart
But I believe real strzyga as it we Poles call is has good heart
Only it is destructive because from people it’s forced to live apart
It is said Strzyga can turn into giant owl
And anything from monster to waterfowl
She is very dangerous when on the prowl
She is smart like a smartest human but she can kill with just a howl
I imagine her as woman with snake tail where legs should be and wings
Someone who as beautifully as nightingale sings
In male form I imagine dragon’s king of kings
With triangular seven heads of snake he also has wings
What makes him sublime?
He is master of time
And beyond time
And master of divine and destiny with one rhyme
As you see her or him coming out of the mist
You see something that is not supposed to exist
But it is not increasable, absolute value of not exist
The one beyond consciousness yet it does exist
