Strix Poem by Unnikrishnan Sivasankara Menon

Strix

Rating: 5.0

Time advances
with its scythe bared,
unleashes ominous Strix
with his hooked claws
transfixed eyes
and rapacious beaks
to feed on my memories
memoryphagous
Anthropophagous

A well crafted poem with superb imagery. It lingers in the mind. I am glad it is just a myth.
