When Science Was Rogue
HE steps across the barren land into the forest
each twig a twitch of animal muscle and the
MOON is full but the town fuller this night.
Superstition on four feet.
Mothers, Fathers, brothers, and sisters
the feast of feral man turned to shadow
and in superstition, there is more to say
Legend.
When science was rogue and hearts tough
came the creatures of hidden fear
And fed they did across the globe
A window open. A leap. Revenge
on Time and the twenty-first century.
Silver in the sky, crimson on the fangs.
This truth as old as the spirit world.
