Ocurat

Deep crevices in cavernous mountains
hides Ocurat slowly awaking
below mist hidden trees slopes vast
spreading aside slumbered beast
tales told and tail fold
around amassed treasure
bodies
gold
steam seeps from her enormous nostrils
clatter of sluggish movement echoes
boredom and scale
She remembers the knight
burning villages screaming ferocity
as the pearl rose under a starlit curtain
shadow-figures
wailing
where she felt a sword pierce
dagger like teeth snatch
hauling her victim in equal thrust
to the sky letting him drop
with time to think long and hard
how fast it was over
pounding
thud
Her steps carefully measured
strafe longbow and feasts upon weakness
as a castle gives way from crunch of her talons
a king orders no more from fallen timbre
the anguished cries of his servants
nothing but rubble leavings of a kingdom
Ember
burning
Ocurat remembers all forgets nothing
savoring a taste of long ago adventure
her ears have perked
and belly rumbles in hunger
at faraway sounds just whisperings
of a new king a restored kingdom
treasure
screaming
