Atop the barrow he stood

Looking down at the creature within

A thing of bones and sinews and several heads

Gathered around a central mass with no heart

With a casual flick of his fingers "Tiene"

Flames licked the creature till it crisped.

A turn of his lips

A look of disgust and a curse.

"You can't even die properly."

And he wondered how such a thing

Could ever be.
