An Ode from Dtalk to Roth
by Will Thompson

Sleek and shiny, steely stinger
Scorpion, you are so suave
Strips of leather, sultry smooth.
Betting against your blade would be a foolish deed,
But blending into your soul is so blissful.
Blinding light can be bent here.
Your eyes, so endlessly deep, go on into the cosmos.
You can see inside mine, too.
A voice, so nearly a hiss, escapes your mouth;
Speak of sorrows, speak of desires, speak of souls.
Vanity is evicted from your world;
Pride can serve your purpose, give you power.
Avid arachnid, you aim for activity.
You have activated my mind.
Loyalty and Love, the warrior, propegating his people.
Protector, Purveyor, Perpetuator.
Dangerous, and a little deadly.
I promise to wait for you, my love.
I will see you there, on the Other Side, where we first met.

- Dtalk Mentu, Har-Neomalid of Jashnia, of the Childred of Selen
