Thank you all for your extremely kind and helpful commentary on this piece
I see that the latter half of stanza two is confusing people. In short, I've been reading a lot of olde English fairy tales lately, so that's been influencing my writing and therefore causing me to insert imaginary worlds everywhere
"All-ways Death" is just that: an imaginary world, as metaphor for the night.
