Monster Songs

Fear is beautiful.

Fear is beautiful.
The boundary between known
and unknown.

I shoot my arrow off the edge
of my wall
into the Eternal.

I slowly trickle through time
drained through the pores of
creation, and unmake
my scars like stitches,
like warm body riches,
singing to my monster.
