TROIKA

Three warriors battle
the forces of
The Wolf,
The Ram,
and The Hart.

Angel,

(Angel's hands
cannot win.
There is so little
to live for,
still he fights.
If he doesn't,
who else will?)

Illyria,

(Illyria'a armor
does not hinder
her ability to shatter
under the force of
her anger,
her grief,
her pain.)

and Spike

(Spike's battle skill
is poetry in motion.
Battle is the
greatest dance,
still the pain
cannot be forgotten.)

They are
fire,
pure heat,
and endless passion.

Even it they lose,
the memory of
these three will
not fade away.

Rain bleeds
from the sky
reminding
each one of them
that even
the sky
can cry.
