URBAN BEAST

   

they have returned
creeping from their muddy swamps
scratching at the tarmac

returned
now feasting in pools
suck into buildings
devouring park-trees
spidernetting round streetlamps

returned
to orgy in dumps
take over kennels
nesting on platforms

...

...
...

...
...

some escaped laboratories
new species, mutants of science
rompe round cars
reache into sandpits
breed down swimmingpools

others melt into walls
gorge themselves there
on micro-bacteria

unther snowladen streets
havily drowning
crawling creatures

...

mud-amphibians
grow in the rain
shrink during heat
burrow in tar
spawn there

time has come for symbiosis
useful creepy-crawlies
live amongst men
replacing watchdogs
hysterical microorganisms
repel invaders

sensitive centipedes under the microscope
sense catastrophe days in advance
weaving complex dances
replace nuclear warning systems

...

...
...

humananimal animalmen
on backtreets asphalt
manylegged manyarmed
under their shells flow
pinkyellowgreeblue blood
in the head in the guts
pulsats desires
impossible to satisfy
so even more intense
their deepblued passion

lost in cement
mental aliens
attending exodus
terrestrians take
a last silent breath
