Tag: dead me tell no tales

Posted on October 5, 2020September 30, 2020

Poetry Monday: Dead Men Tell No Tales

The large arm lifted higher
Than the masthead
Shiny and black with
Hooks pushing out of each sucker
The ship crushed in twine
A large beak like a bird
Rose from the water
Catching the crew of the lost vessel
The rest of the beast hidden
We watched from the safety of our ship
As our sister ship was devoured
By the merciless black titan

From the poetry collection Cats, Coffee, Catharsis.
