Analysis of The Time Monster
Like angels in the cruel mist
leaves flutter on earth in a
brown-spotted love dance
The old dozing horizon playing
ball with hot fiery sun seeks
soft pond with searing hands
A blue-veined day found its revenge
as feathery talons ravages silky air
Strength sits on its axis of everything
The time monster grips that hooded laugh...
