meat eaters

somewhat onward

into the unknown--

talking purple fauna await--

 

alien, yet somehow

familiar lifeforms

speak exotic languages..

for it bears the odor

of decay--so off-putting--

and the reason

I did forsake the place

where I grew up.

Sometimes, you just know before you get there..every place you leave just gets better for the leaving..

Thanks for commenting, Dominic.
