Beast of Fire and Storm

there comes that crack of thunder
after the sky is cleaved in two
by a white-hot spear
of searing light
could remake this world anew
its roar that of a beast awoken
and starving in its rage
a being which has not belonged—
neither here nor anywhere
with its heart a
caged and ancient star
wrapped in that fiery, furious light
dare to bring down the wrath
of an immortalized midnight
