the monster

at noon the monster shakes away the
embryonic safety of quilted caverns
and a warm den
dreams still cling to her limbs,
hanging in whispers round her neck
the monster shrugs off their
demanding embrace and
blinks
(she sleeps head to end, to confuse the foot vampires)
around her, angels float suspended,
offering courage in their fashion,
bidding good day with smiles and
scented smoke and lyrical wisdom.
a primordial language of
undecipherable guttural growls
precedes her stalk down the dark corridor
to a place of light and good smells,
stopping only to receive a fairys kiss
(or perhaps a pause to confirm the
tiny winged-ones sage appraisal that
indeed, this monster walks)
the monster emerges with bleary eyes
and a tousled mane that defies comment,
but the hot liquid is soothing
sipped slowly with deliberation
the monster we made
breathes fire and tosses the cares
of the world into the bulging sack
she carries over her shoulder, and aside from these, I cant see a thing I would change
