One for the road


O dweller of wuthering aeons and blood-encrusted steel,
silhouette forged from smokeless fire:
stand tall amidst the bustling writhering
of sleek parasites carving evermore grim runes
on the slopes of arid and rugose bosoms
festooned by the comatose dregs of the world;
horizons are cluttered,
the wind directions in disarray like corpses
hanging about galeblown gallows:
steer clear from their bacchanales,
take no heart of distant shorelines -
the eye of the storm is one and ubiquitous,
once the rage wavers and fades into
oblivion.

Love this, has the flavour of heroic fantasy to it. Maybe you should think of writing a short story in such a vein?
