Cryptozoology and Essays on Human Existence: Beast of Exmoor

Beast of Exmoor! You famous, yet elusive beast. 100 sheep and throats could never feed you like I would. I'll dangle all that folklore, above your head, unraveled yarn. No one else knows you kitty. Leave the puma on the farm.

Cryptozoology and Essays on Human Existence: Beast of Dean

Beast of Dean! All the trees did fall before your clumsy hooves. I too, was floored. The villagers all called you "Moose-pig." Pitchforks and rifles called you a failed hunt. One unearthly roar to make me believe for decades.

Cryptozoology and Essays on Human Existence: Beast of Dartmoor

Beast of Dartmoor! I knew the devil would find me. Knew, you knew I was coveted. With a heart like a squire, the devil's hunting pack always follows. With fur like the black night, you drag me screaming every time.

Cryptozoology and Essays on Human Existence: Beast of Busco

Beast of Busco! You snapped my heart in half as I tried to see inside your wide 500 pounds of shell. Farmers got an eye for the pond. I had an eye for drained lakes and traffic jams. All I wanted was an inch of your wet neck..one usable photo would suffice. Each year I watch a turtle race. Skinny dipping never caught me a turtle.

Cryptozoology and Essays on Human Existence: Beast of Bray Road

Beast of Bray Road! I play the nightwatchman along dark, rural roads.I smell a man under all the stench of decaying meat and wolf's hair. Up on your hind legs, I was roadkill under your headlights eyes. Down on your haunches, I was another witness to the wolf man. Can't you fall on all fours when I struggle to see you? Wisconsin, in the night he repeats, "Gadarah."

Cryptozoology and Essays on Human Existence: Beast of Bodmin

Beast of Bodmin! Were you licking your paws when the women all screamed on the moors? Haunting some heard of cows with your panther intent? I want you locked in the barn. I want the ghost given up to me only. Be there when that barn door swings open. My love is a firing squad locked on you. Flash of the eyes of a ghost cat, left with only rugs and imported skulls.

Cryptozoology and essays on human existence: Beast of Baldenboro

Beast of Bladenboro! All my love letters turned to dog whimpers the moment you prowled through my home. The trail you left behind your cougar's paws was nothing but dead pets and shot gun smoke. How'd you dodge all your hunters and hounds? No bobcat left to hide you. I thought I heard something outside. Keep watching the woods from my window. Feel it like a broken jaw, you drained all the blood you could see.

Cryptozoology and Essays on Human Existence: Bear Lake Monster

Bear Lake Monster! All those Mormon wives watched in terror, two strange lovers turned into snakes. There was something bout the water, right? Something new. Something like swam like a serpent. Give me something to gossip about. Open these lips with your old walrus feet. They warned me that you were the main attraction. Tourism's boomin in your crocodile smile.

Cryptozoology and essays on human existence: Beaman Monster

Beaman Monster! I watched those circus trains derail. Saw each elephant and clown recaptured. Let the cotton candy stick to my face as they watched that one last beast fade through smoke and carousels  You were born of Big Top expectations. Born a gorilla's son. Who are you really? Never my Bigfoot. Never my Wolfman. And always, and always, my ringleader.

Cryptozoology and essays on human existence: Batutut

Batutut! If only that red fur fell over your face. Those bare hands and monkey's paws. Every human feature captured, felt worse then all your unpredictable, foraging teeth. Are you feasting on grapes that dropped from my lap? Are you dragging my liver through Borneo? I tripped in those footprints with each whispered song. Tootooooooo. tootoooo. totoooo

Cryptozoology and Essays on Human Existence: Barmanou

Barmanou! All I saw, looking up, were those animal pelts, dangling off your shoulders. How long were the tracks my body left in the dirt, as you dragged me from my bed? All those different names can't cover that primal stench. Your motives were always Man of the Forest.

Cryptozoology and Essays on Human Existence: Ayia Napa sea monster

Ayia Napa sea monster! We laid out on the tiles at the House of Dionysus. Sea water dripped off your torso, curved like a woman stretching across the coast. Lap up my split wine, with one of your six dog's heads and slither through my desires as an asp. I always get caught up, in your ripped up fishing nets.  "The friendly monster," dragged me to sea.

Cryptozoology and Essays on Human Existence: Atti

Atti! How many names must I call, till you turn that long neck? All the other beasts lent their last pelts to you. Still I debated: Zebra? Girafe? Okapi? Safari wishes always fall though. I always choose African Unicorn, over you.

Cryptozoology and Essays on Human Existence: Andean wolf

Andean wolf! We speculated you into extinction. Man never lets the lone wolf state his case. Ooh how that one pelt fell over my lap, as I wore it and destroyed all your evidence. Your dried skull, still, is longer than my list of former wolves and lovers.

Cryptozoology and Essays on Human Existence: Amomongo

Amomongo! Always dragging those long nails through the entrails of my livestock. Always the question, man or primate. Always, a strand of fur, left on my cave floor. When? When? When can we have the night back?

Cryptozoology and Essays on Human Existence:Ameranthropoides loysi

Ameranthropoides loysi! I'll kick the stick from under your chin. Fall forward. We both know, hoaxes don't photograph well, unless posed. Save 32 teeth, shrubs, and branches, for the last four adventurers.

Cryptozoology and Essays on Human Existence: Altamaha-ha!

Altamaha-ha! Giant water serpent. I know it's you, whipping your tail against the bottom of my boat. Break the river and meet me and the catfish at "The Little Amazon."

Cryptozoology and Essays on Human Existence: Almas

Almas! Oh lets be wild people. Play truth or dare through the mountains. Truth. Are your footprints myth? Dare. Be the Neanderthal, yeti,  feral man, I know you can be.

Cryptozoology and Essays on Human Existence: Akkorokamui

Akkorokamui! I search the endless seas for your massive red limbs. Your name, unpronounceable, constricts my preconception of language and oceanography. Sink my weary ship. Tangle me in tentacles and salt water.

Cryptozoology and Essays on Human Existence: Ahool

Ahool! Your wings echo through the caverns of my heart. Cry out and find me in some humid, rainforest, sonar. Sounds like, ahOOOooool, every time I close my eyes
