He looked like a searing centaur
part-man, part animal
the colour of grey
with a crown of emerald holly
was he two-headed
or two people with one fluttering heart of gold?
His words a volcanic splash
of amethyst crystals
a living embodiment of Adam,
rejecting the need for a human touch
fear, his only demon
a humongous beast self-created
caged and cold
captive and captivating
strange and stranger
reading the poignant North star
on dark winter nights.
