The Story
Anew-
The Creature emerged itself
out of the blankest, wettest wasteland
and stared.
It's empty glazed eyes gazed upward
- Not prepared -
It's eyes became filled.
So outward and out further,
the Sky began to scream.
Telling stories of terror,
the Beast would continue
continuously. Not for pity-
It just cherished the company.
The Stars gave their greatest shine.
And the Beast smiled-
Spreading it's wings,
the Stars smiled back.
For it's black skin now was painted blue.
Anew-
The Man emerged himself
out of his blankets, satin sheets,
and dreams.
His empty dazed eyes dazzled out the window
- Not prepared -
His eyes became dry.
