Someone tossed up high.

Round and full, shining.

On indigo velvet rests

In a chill tempest, bitter.

Carven visage, a

Fiery elemental,

Held in its confines.

Lighting the night on the day,

That the dead come among us.

Sinuous and black,

A shadow drenched in moonlight,

Silently pads.

Scarlett, umber, gold,

So many vibrant hues, warm,

First flora, then fire.

Crumbling underfoot, brittle.

Sharpest ivory,

Streams of crimson and scarlet.

Oubliettes for eyes.

Creature of the darkest night,

Screaming silenced with a bite.
