Disclaimer: Although I would love to find a place to buy one, Severus Snape is not in any way my property, and I promise that I make no profit from our adventures and will return him relatively unharmed (.



SABLE



His hair,

eyes,

vestments,

essence,

universe-

a cool,

engulfing,

delicious

black.



The world a stage,

men and women players;

he is a hand,

lurking in the wings.

Coordinating,

calculating,

comprehending the scene

far beyond those within it,

for his perspective and cunning pierces the masks.



Retreating to his dungeons,

unspoiled by the clatter.

Inpenetratable stone,

solid and soothing

logical and sensed as the being it envelops-

the succulent presence of Severus Snape.

Embodiment

of living sable.
