First light’s cracking, night still grips,
to the blacktop rider's gleaming wings.

A new specialist
Let’s see if today
I can make a fist.

seeped through my defences like smoke,
the devil shimmying off my shoulder,

Where a dragon stands, fierce and tall.
His tongue flicks with a wicked gleam,
But something’s wrong no fiery fire stream.
