Chp.5 Beast from Water, Beastie

What about the beast?


Says the beast

is dark

unknown indigo

a dense black mass


says the beast

comes out

the shimmer

of the vast sea


A squid

couldn't come up the water

a ghost?

Perhaps

that's what it is


said they dream and cry

--the littluns


the vivid horror

so nakedly terrifying

like Pacific storms

frightens them

frightened myself

sometimes


but we are all

being cry-babies and sissies

We're strong

we'll hunt it down!


Fear can't hurt you

anymore

than a dream
