Poem: “Brown-eyed Green” (#guestblogger)

It rises in the shadow of the sun,
body larger than a house,
eyes like summer leaves.
Hooves meet the ground,
cracking,
cobwebs set aflame,
nostrils flaring,
exhaling,
walls shaking,
inhaling,
panels breaking.

In the color of summer leaves,
I see brown,
hellish,
but no green.
