Book of Bones

The chicken-man dances to
the devil's metal roar. Fury beats
in his sweaty yellow feathers,
flying in the wind. What kind of nightmare
wrought such a creature, that seeks
the company of hulking heathens
and scrawny skeletons, writhing long
into the dark? He has no need for the
sickening light of two-faced love.
A book of bones is his temple,
after all the pages have been burned.
