made eternal or devoured every star trembles in its cosmic cage
a wizard squints into the storm: this will summon a dragon or a cat that will burn the world
a thousand armies march boots grinding ancient stars to dust
cave veins aglow in amber a voice like thunder submerged in honey calls out
a sly roll of an obsidian dice scatters frail bones
on command dragons in chains chase the sun from the day sky
spends an eternity mapping the fissures of his mind a nameless wizard
she kneels not to pray but to bind her fury to the earth
rivers rise in rebellion and forests twist into snarling maws
