An incendiary flash of colour –
Your violent hues scatter the scrub;
We watch as you forage for food,
Using your casque like a fork.
 
Reptilian eyes stare unblinkingly,
Your tridactyl feet conceal a blade;
We watch as you secure your stance,
Using your casque like a sword.
 
Vegetation brushed callously aside,
Your head grazes the undergrowth;
We watch as you strike a shrub,
Using your casque like a shield.
 
Coated in charcoal to induce fertility,
Your useless wings reduced to stiff quills;
We watch as you long for lust,
Using your casque like a lure.
 
A guttural exhalation of sound,
Your lowly bellow remains unheard;
We watch as you augment this acoustic,
Using your casque like an amp.
