“The Behemoth & The Godspawn Surfer by Stewart Stafford
Jagged flesh in the behemoth's belly,
The city encircled by its tongue's pall,
I drank toxic fumes and pumice smoke,
As I tried surfing along a lava waterfall.
My obsidian bone board, surging fire,
Cryptid blood drips from a snapping jaw,
In a flash of the beast's fungal jawline,
I counted the vacant dead within its maw.
In a blaze, I was in its mouth and deeper,
I rounded the gullet's scalding turn,
Into a sea of swirling bones, stomach bile,
Where half-chewed skyscrapers churn.
"Leave me, Godspawn!" the monster roared,
"Spoil not my prey feasting for my fangs to cut!"
My board speared into its festering heart,
It ejected me in a howling thunderclap of sulphur soot.
And hurled me skyward, sand-blasted, and bruised,
The plume cleared, and the beast stood, wound-free—
Lava floods scorched, the city’s debt — a lifeblood hue,
By sunrise, my perennial task returned to enslave me.
