a poet’s notebook

riding the dragon

 

riding the dragon

 

 

riding the dragon 
into the dark 

 

i’ve something to show you 
she said 

 

you follow her through 
the halls of the dead 

 

into the locked room 
its angels & affirmations 

 

all the broken | wings 

 

you’re in a trance now 
a mental dance now 

 

your brain | is made | of snow 

 

a smear of memories 
across the windshield 
of your mind 

 

white out | white out 

 

riding the dragon 
above the air 
into the dark 
stars up there 

 

reaching | for the brass ring 

 

where are you going? 
what do you do now?  

 

riding the dragon 
reaching for the brass ring 
it keeps spinning past 

 

too fast | too fast
