monsters

they came
as the day turned grey
monsters made of water
brown and full of bones
roaring through the towns
rolling and angry
swallowing all our things
the things that made our lives
TVs.sofas,tables
photo's and letters.those paintings
stuck on the fridge the kids made
books and the bookcases
all those old shoes
the bike we don't use anymore
they ate our memories
they ate our tomorrows
they swallowed it all
then spat it right back at us
broken and confused and mixed up
covered in mud
