Dragonslayer

Silver such that Sigurd saw

When he Fafnir slew, no more the blue-black dragon flew batlike

Beyond his valley’s sanction

Setting fire to thatches, all backlaunched sorties he sorely dispatched

With swordclaw and gulletflame

His nostrils like flame-fed flues no more blew out fire, famed Fafnir died.

The hero tore out the spear

That he had forced through the brute’s less adorned rear.
