English Individual Found Poem

What do I click guys?

Ghosts and Beasts wouldn't make sense 
There are no beasts, no animals 
Yet the darkness was full of claws
Full of the awful unknown and menace.
It followed, touched 
The beast comes out from the sea
Out of the dark.
Jammed in the earth
A gift for the beast was silently accepted.
Yet they were running
As fast as they could towards the open beach. 
Fear can't hurt you any more than a dream
But now out of the terror rose another desire
Thick, urgent, blind
As it came darkly, uncertainly
The crowd surged, poured, leapt on the beast. 
Struck, bit, tore
There were no words, no movements
But the tearing of teeth and claws.
Somewhere over the darkened curve of the world
The sun and moon were pulling a film of water
Moving Simon's dead body toward the open sea.
