Sunning on the shore,
   As in days of yore
 When the ancient beast
   Stood its ground to feast,
 Waiting for one to crawl
   Near its gaping maw...
 Then, SNAP!
   CRUNCH! - Crunch - crunch...

 clears a window in pond scum,
  and waits — statue-like!

 then one finds color
  in the gray city.

 of an ancient city,
