The Evil Fantastic

Black sleek

silver flashes

Lightning in the night

Shiver-shining across scales

of the Black Beast

Claws of yellow bone

hard and scarred

Knuckles

powerful hinges

Fingers

scaled and slender

Tendons of wire

*

Face filled with hellfire

washed with blood

and flamed flesh

Eyes yellow

hot

Black slit

Tongue

forked and fang flanked

Evil intent on its solitary mind

Deep within its burning brain

In it’s ribs seeth and stoke

the demons

Big bat cloak for its cloak

and for its flight

It’s tail for the fight

The Evil Fantastic.
