Godzilla Poem by Ryan Brodesser

Godzilla



A flash! A glare!

In the misbegotten street of misery, a light

A hellish flash, and hellish sight

A roar! A shriek!

As it encloses it awful jaws upon the city street

A flash! A bang! As the melting metal falls with a dull clang

A roar, of triumph as the tanks swatting with futile shots

Melt like ore in fire, murderously hot

A sighing wail, as buildings fall beneath its sweeping tail

A fire! Fire! Burning throughout the streets

Killing everyone as it sweeps

A clangor, a cacophony of noise

As the thing tosses aside cars, boats and buildings like toys

A sickness! Despair throughout the crowd

Deaths 2nd in command, covering the city in a deadly shroud.

An silent eerie. After the long moments of agonies and pains..

And nothing in the city remains.
