Spread-eagled <br />Under the spreading runway <br />Pterodactyls struggle to rise. <br />One day the earth will crack up. <br /> <br />These blunt-nosed <br />Bleak-eyed blue-winged monsters <br />Streak into intangibility; stretching… <br />Strain – <br />And wings tumbling, <br />Props whiz, <br />Wheels spinning, <br />Stick... <br />Stick, split. <br /> <br />Out of the mind's fissure shoots <br />A skin-bone sheet-arm, <br />Beak breaking… <br />Back to this horror, this <br />Madness.<br /><br />Tan Pratonix<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/pterodactyls/
