a ghastly talon scratches at the door that divides the warm flesh from winter’s rime

a rift remains in the grey horizon where once dragons fled in blazing arcs from a hollowed fiend

take the enchanted sword swing and let it sing away its rust in bloody combat

a thousand ravens of winter scatter crowns and bones into the wind

where chaos hums like an eternal battle hymn the war is not out here but deep within the flesh

a thief catches fireflies in the midnight meadow hoarding them in her ribcage long has she forgotten hunger that humans and animals do

in the silent fog phantoms cast lines of silver hoping to hook the beast by maw or underbelly and there in the muddy deep the fish whisper of war

autumn noon the rain’s come to play with the warmth of draconic scales

the first spell uttered by these dark lips was that of unmaking the universe

grim roots of rot grasp the dagger hilt and tighten its grip on the drow’s pale flesh
