freak on freak
you shapeshift into a dragon
and scorch the worms below. the world waits
to clutch you in its jaws, magical thing
hiding in your cave, emerging
only to strike. you are of
nowhere, in and out and neither, full
of sharp and fragile incisors, learning
to move like those you hate. a meek hero
in stone armor approaches
on your left; the true believers
with their fire and iron gather
on your right. you will
not know in time to save your teeth.
