rising up out of the sodden earth the creature reaches toward the moon its bony hand outstretched as if pleading transfixed in horror i stare frozen to my spot grasping at humanity it all falls short i cannot move i am frozen to the ground why am i watching why am i not running it turns toward me with hunger in its eyes yet it only beckons me to follow grotesquely grasping at humanity it all falls short i follow with trepidation as it leads me on the path we take makes me shudder with fear i know this route my panic surges upward how could he know what have i done grasping at humanity it all falls short suddenly he stops at the edge of the ravine he points over the edge i slink back i know now what he is doing i cant help myself my shame is too much what i did was wrong grasping at humanity it all falls short |
