Instantly boiled then instantly frozen
None were to question the planet they'd...

meridional,

Three Ice-Dragons of Zaath, are faring South,
They strip the landscape barren of all Love.
Each holds a lifeless Champion in its mouth,
Each imitates the wolf, and mocks the Dove…

CHAPTER 4 The Eagle (continued)

Merely brushing through its wing-plumes

like Odysseus 
bound to the mast of his ship
cursive words dispatched 
through aether to 
the somnolent nodding

the Siren’s enchantment
a song that sings

 Where trapped they do recline
Where they drink and dine
