New Poetry by Zane Castillo: “Demon Appetite”
Horned beings
covered in flayed flesh
scamper towards him.
He watches in shock
unable to move
a recalcitrant limb.
Gurgling sounds
and squeaky giggles
come forth from
the demons’ mouths.
Drool falls to the floor
and runs towards him
as the demons’ anticipation
grows with their appetite.
Yeats’s “The Mermaid”
This is just a neat little poem by William Butler Yeats that I have loved for years:
A mermaid found a swimming lad,
Picked him for her own,
Pressed her body to his body,
Laughed; and plunging down
Forgot in cruel happiness
That even lovers drown.
