The Deep

Glimmering

Shimmering

Cursed of

The deep

Slitted eyes

Narrow

As the target

Comes into

Sight

Propel body

Forward with

Powerful

Strong

Strokes of the

Tail

Scales of sea

Green glint

Winkingly

Stretching out with

Taloned hand

Fingers reaching

Far, outstretched

Ready to

Grab

The ankle

Of the

Child

Tug!

Pull!

Surprise

Surprise

Dragging down to

The grotto

Below the

Sea

Bubbles

Escaping and

Popping

And the

Sea-chimes

Of human

Bone

Of past

Victims

Grate and

Clash in

The

Waves
