GIANT DOWN
By Stephen Jarrell Williams


They brought the giant down
with a hook in his heart.
She was a beauty on a pedestal
kept just out of his reach.

They bound him in chains:
drugged, fed intravenously,
lowered into a dark chamber,
experimented on,
dissected alive.

No one knowing after so many years.
Only a story sometimes remembered...
Great moaning under the earth,
as he still dreams of her.
