Inside where hope hides
Locked in doom
loomed in...

Dragon tales
swing wily into the ether, miry gutter
Caustic dirty words heard,

with corrosive, covetous steer...

Stole a pretty horse and tried to elope

And for giving them much grief
They dangled him at the end of a rope...

Bearing the bread.
Bearing the bomb.
