How to Catch a Monster



The Leviathan, brooding  in the primordial 
waters of unconsciousness.


How to Catch a Monster?!
~
I caught a Serpent by the tail,
and pulled her from the sea.
But when I saw her size and motion,
I turned and tried to flee!
~
But Beast was hungry too,
and wouldn't let me go!
Caught me by her pull,
her violent undertow!
~
Now I'm consumed whole,
consummated as her feast!
Pregnant with new meaning,
I wait to be released.
~
Blackening to white,
God's Creature on me dines;
reddening to Gold,
she sublimates sublime.
~
Dragon births her Pearl,
born of a the Red Sea tide;
reconciles the opposites;
unearths her unearthly Child.
~
