Talons Fly
from "The Fear, the Fog"
(Buy on Etsy)

Gangster vibes with pyramid lore,
and Babylon babbles on forevermore.
Steel fists made of aluminum,
images of strength drunk on rum.

Take a moment to survey the crowd,
my reflection casts an awkward glance.
The eyes on pyramids seem to stand proud,
giving nothing but a coward's chance.

Take the helmet, the helmet of Hades;
disappear beneath as bodies drop.
Talons fly but see you not,
talons fly but see you not.

Acrid smoke clouds their red-veined eyes,
talons fly until they rot.
