Skunk Ape from Demo by Vuduwasa

Skunk ape rising
Up into the trees
Waiting, hiding
In a palace made of leaves
Always knowing, never showing
Rarely to be seen, seen

Her stink, her steps
All we know of
This creature’s being

She’ll never be found
She doesn’t think she wants to be
But we know she’s there

Hiding, fighting
This urge to be discovered
Leaving clues beneath the bashed roots
At her feet
Mysteries, passed down stories
The tale of her long journey
All she cares to tell
Before solitary retreat

Now the skunk ape
Stalks the psyche,
Taunts the lonely,
The misguided,
In her waters
Shallow and hungry
A feeding frenzy,
Muddy, lithe, and
Drowning curious insight
The monster slithers
Inside you and me
