Wasted Worm Graveyard

Left by the Hun caravans-guards or Mongol Invaders,

In the fourteenth century,

It was a row of half a dozen bent and scattered,

Heaps of Great Worm bones on a slope.

And a single wing flapped and stretched in the wind,

It gave hope that the beast would fly,

until evening fell and the moon rose over the hills.
