When You Ruled The Earth

you are descended from dinosaurs.

talons tapping
emerald green carpet
that covers the vast emptiness
of your third, fourth and fifth
sub-basement...

I couldn't believe it.

I couldn't believe it.

they went down so deep
into the damp earth.

I wasn't expecting it.

it moved like a wildfire - quietly, politely
with complete disregard for what you might consume
in your flaming plume
but I will put you out.
I am a flood.
All heart and blood!

And you are a dinosaur.
