Winding Statue
October 23, 2019
Something out of fantasy.
Skeleton man crawling out of the sea.
Hooved feet from Greek mythology.
Clomping through the trees.
Vines slithering up his legs,
Anchoring him to the ground.
One arm
Reaching for help,
Begging for mercy,
Pleading for life.
The center,
His heart.
Bigger than his brains.
The flowers
Around his feet,
His fallen friends.
