Skyguana on Ruskin Dam

 

The gathering storm,

Skyguana wakes himself

shakes himself

free

from the mountains above the dam.

 

Moves south

toward the mouth

of the river checked by a mason's hand.

 

He rolls to the lip

with a threatening rumble

a mumble,

a murmur of charges unspent.

 

"YOU CALL THAT POWER?"

He sneers

as he leers,

leans on the still

and concrete air.

 

With flaming neck

and gleaming eye

he grins,

towering,

KING OF THE SKY!
