The Dark Creatures
1. Dementors I

They are the echoes of despair,
the approaching death with their flapping black cloaks
that die in the cold-crusted breeze –

They are so fragile, so fair
but black, blacker than the night without its moon
and no wind can push them down: they become the wind
wailing all the despair that leaks from them
as they search for their feed, that package
they have to take, but becomes a drug
to them.
