Two More Poems Fire
Dragon’s Fire

It comes out of me

like dragon’s fire

and I want to push it

just a little too far;

just far enough

that you’d hear me and be like

“What?”

and burn to a crisp.

Sick of Dancing

You’re dancing on spider webs.

You keep the trains on time

but can’t catch me

up.

 

You’re holding back a flood,

and I’m full of plaster.

You really crack me

up.

 

You’re flying high as a kite

I’m full of holes, patch me up.

 

You’re ripe with decay and

the flies are all over you.

Don’t they see you dancing?

Ha! You’ll eat them

up.

 

I can wait

until you’re sick of dancing.
