Upright
The creature, crud dragging out
from the bottom of ocean to gleam,
turning into pileus
of squid or jellyfish,
or maybe a slug,
which found for itself
a double-leaf shell,
with opened at inflow
bluish - grey shutters,
like the wings of a moth,
gone for horizon,
to get stronger and turn
into a fantastic dragon:
anguine pangolin
With the head
of wolf – tiger - goat,
which landed at spaceport,
created by lactife,
bypassing into the
sounds of the earthborn:
Per aspera ad astra.
