Bleached bright pier reflects the sun

Man holds his pole on a “No Fishing” sign

kraken

leviathan
rusty bones
supporting hide
of rotting wood
the pungent smell
of seaweed

digesting
long dead things

crawls ashore
clicking like
fighting crabs

groaning

sand sloughing
from its skin

primordial
grey skies
clinging mist
clothing it
in gloom

a thousand
scrabbling legs
gripping claws
taking root
heaving carcass
to the shore

...
