Heaven's Helldog

Life's a finely detailed heaven
Guarded by a versatile Cerebus

One head to drool a
Gelatinous moat
Around you
As it sniffs the wafting scents from Tomorrow
One head to gnaw on the bones of
Yesterday
And the Head head
Licks this moment
Appetizing itself
As you stare.

Three such heads, you could handle, but
Three such, you've chained
To guard each explorable facet
For unleashed, you think, they'd bring chaos

Each mouth,
With it's own uniquely
Sculpted teeth
Clamped in ancient bites.

Each brain
Devising devious new ones.

Necks connecting
In a bloated black body
Jiggling with unstilled
Fear.
