Myth i
Before lone dragons burned ice in my stomach
I knew how to dissolve feeling,
trained abandoned shells to balance as building blocks
create one
well rounded woman
before we made mountains from boats,
created landslide
I knew what it meant to muddle through -
fever,
suppose there's power in non-numbing,
some contaminated thrum
gurgling in the nervous system,
a reboot conversing
after so long crushing wild seeds into pavement
but I didn't know I had it in me
and now
isn't the time to hunt for a human
I...

Twilight
A beautiful sky
Just after the setting sun
Reds, and blues, and violet greys
I saw a dragon
Breathing fire
Soaring into the horizon
Into a twilight world
That i now inhabited
And realised suddenly
That i was seeing myself
Reflections on a river below
My eyes were an shimmering emerald green
As specks of scarlet red
Flickered, as i blinked
As i raged, and roared
Upon the firey scene below
I could feel the hot coals
Yearning, and burning
Within my throat
As my acrid, acid tongue
Lashed out again ...

The Dragon, And The Yew
Come hither, my dragon friend
I am in danger
Fly fast, fly true
Wairooo! wairooo! wairooo!
Come hither, with your firey breath
Don't be a stranger
Fly as the wind, and defy the old Yew
Wairooo! wairooo! wairooo!
Come hither, please save me
As i lie in my manger
Before the Changeling is due
Wairooo! wairooo! wairooo!

Icaros
Icarus
I have been so fascinated by Icarus my dream was to fly closer to
the sun than man or god dared.
I had the good fortune of meeting a mad scientist at a wine tasting
contest, where our capacity for the wine was appreciated.
He had a type of wax that could withstand intense heat.
I did not hesitate to order a pair of wings.
I flew higher than any god had done before, but the heat
was so intense the wax began to melt.
Like a rocket, I dived back to earth hoping to meet water.
Splashed down into the Barents ocean.
My body,...

athenian night
August in Athens is always confusing
I spent the evening looking at a white wall the moon had lit up,
waiting for the movie to start.
Staggered into a church where bearded priests handed out bags
of yesterday’s cake.
The elderly lady behind me got none, it was her second time
she had been in the line
I gave her my bag and felt good about my act of charity.
In the deep shadows of the park, I found a grotto displaying
Jesus in he looked like a sleeping angel, one painted by Caravaggio.
The painted Jesus opened his eyes smiled like an urchin...

Hastings Castle Dragon
Out of the corner, of my eye
I glimpsed the ruins
Of Hastings Castle ruins
And momentarily
Mistook the flying flag
For that of a dragon
Caught on the wind
As a new kind of magic
Was about to enter my life
And breathe new fire
Into my soul
And light up
The fading flickers
Borne from the molten wax

American gods (+) Stygian Wave Forms
American gods
Aspiring gods.
The outer limits.
A famed forest.
Light (+) Shadows.
Stygian wave form.
A ritual written.
Channeled (+) Transmitted.
The forbidden.
Haze smoke/3am air.
Four alien eyes.
The path is there.
A dark thought.
Ocular surface -
And into the mind.
The daring of youth -
(+) the quest for truth.
Breaking away and breaking free -
Of this plastic superficial society.
Aspiring gods.
The outer limits.
A famed forest.
Light (+) Shadows.
Stygian wave form.
A ritual written.
Channeled (+) Transmitted.
The forbidden.
Haze smoke/3am air.
Four alien eyes.
The path is there.
A dark thought.
Ocular surface -
And into the mind.
The daring of youth -

Elderliness
Closer and closer they came
old women with faces made of lava
and stinking volcanic mouths.
Bodies of soil after years of drought,
dead oasis simmered
between thin thighs and haloes
of brittle hair.
They slowly stomped during ancient dust
covered their bird claw feet.
I turned and fled through a thorny bush.
Stumbled into indifference time.
Fell into a muddy lake
and drowned in a cascade of ages.

[ NaPo 2021 ] [ Of Power And Rings ] The Incident With The Dragon
Of a lonely mountain's worth of gold
slumbered upon by dragon old
whose cup runneth over
with ill gotten gains
surely a single coin or chalice
not a soul would miss
Though, this
remains to be seen
And for the time being;
in moments brief
the ring serves the simplistic
purposes of simple minded folk
or the average thief
---renders Bilbo Baggins
entirely unseen by magic spell . . .
if not for a winged serpent's
keen sense of smell! ...

The River Aruns' Dragon
The Yellow, and Black Club-Tailed Dragonfly
Hovers above the Trespasser, nee Ptolemys' Trisantonis
Flirting briefly with the fast flowing river
Then quick as a streak of lightning
Flutters off, to linger above the reed-beds
As it pirouettes daintily upon the breeze
Its' reflective vibrancy, silhouetted on the Wetlands
With the appearance, from a short distance
An ethereal fancy, of a fluttering fairy
Or an obscure looking Wasp, or Hornet
Natures way, a sense of curious attraction
Supplying a Dragon, over the River Arun
Equipped with...

equus ferrous
Equus ferrous
There is a storm blowing when blue waves crash ashore
white horses with flying mane gallop up, blocking the road.
The stallions become a river, pushing useless cars aside
to drown in their futility.
The town below is a lake, rats escaping the sewers runs
up to the third-floor frightening people with their anger
eat babies’ eyes.
A new generation of the unseeing kind, the previous one
could see but didn´t understand busy
as they were playing with the cell phones taking selfies.
Everything ends, calm sea the wild...
