365 Poems in 365 Days: Dragons

This, number 86, references Michael Swanwick's novel The Iron Dragon's Daughter, amongst other things.

The dragon's name is death and terror
(The dragon's name is also it's access code)
It's wingbeats are like stormy weather
(Engaging acquisition mode)
Fiery breath that burns forever
(Confirm target - shoot - explode)
