Stones

Those whose hearts have turned to stone.

Each one has a self unseen.

Through netherworlds and menagerie,

One sees the hate they've been.

One by the bed is nothing but a rat with a face,

or an old sly fox with a tail for each century of vice.

One by the fire is a dragon disgraced.

One who has dyed a thousand times, is a wyrm to be despised.

Sluggishness makes one cruel,

Dabbling in magic is a sign of a poisoned vein or evil eye,

To preside over the death of men is to be the most

violet of wyrms.
