Wintry grey 

A cold wind blows from a titan’s tightening throat

Somewhere, a holding rope snaps 

A robed one steps up, his neck unsnapped

The frayed ends of his broken noose hanging in his lap

His sits atop his appaloosa mount, canters into a gallop

He is gallant and turns his gathered into zealots

They paint his image, his grim visage, on the rounded walls of caverns

Which dwarves made with hammers when the world was still managed

And man still in his manger, a danger to himself and everything
