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.
