The Monster of the Forest Floor - a photo on Flickriver

            The monster of the forest floor
Will tickle your shins
Will grab your ankles
Will laugh at you when you fall.
Will pull your ribs apart.

The monster of the forest floor has 
Sharp jagged tentacles
To feel for all the precarious humans that will
Stumble across it 
Not noticing the devastating beauty surrounding them

It doesn’t care about your crowded hospitals
Just like you didn’t care enough about it 
when it was first a tree, giving you shelter 
All you saw was the forest as a whole
Nothing unique….and nothing to fight for.

So, now, it will have its revenge


*****


There were a lot of people who disappeared in the forest.
We didn’t know how they managed to vanish.
They didn’t answer their cell phone nor their emails
We thought they were living “off the grid"
We thought we needed to respect their privacy.

The monster of the forest floor
knew a different truth
Pulled them under and ate them up
They were just an insignificant part of a vast whole and
They were never seen again.
