One could call it diabolically cruel that the one
Feature of life on which we can know we can
Count, count on absolutely, is the one feature
We most fear, would most love to be rid of, least
Want, but then again, it’s just the world at core,
So why try to ascribe it to only demons? Find
Yourself an actual dragon, cage yourself a demon,
Before you call any dark change an aberration.
As far as a dragon can tell, curled in its lair,
The brimstone smell in its feathery hair, the dark
Is a feature of the whole, belonging to no part.
The darkest part is the part that shames the dark.
