We are Frankensteins
inhabiting incompatible bits of DNA
put together by a sly Creator.
We act in ways that outrage
the bored, easy to anger villagers
whose protocol is to burn
and then wonder at our origin
standing over the ashes of life
extinguished, sifting through them
but finding only cracked, burnt bones.
We are legends for the very young
and very old, signaling them
of times to come or times gone by.
We are made to console the fearful
who otherwise would become
a devouring mass of emptiness.
We monsters show the way
beyond the riddles of a fallen world.
