Before me the monster grew
In the stippled light
Dappled blue
It was an interesting sight.
A wondrous uncompromising
Dark hue
Its features had a disconcerting
Temporary feel. Nose and ears fixed by glue
And where his mouth should have
Been was a blue suede shoe,
And in place of eyes grave-
Stones inscribed with the names of no one I knew.
Still, he was very polite
For such a badly-hewn
Creature of the night.
Crafted as if from ancient stone,
He quietly broke my neck
With a pleasant-enough smile
And I heard it crack
Dying, deeply impressed by his style.
