Dragon - Mount Eerie

There is a veil between me

And the bottomless sky

Cloud or a sheet billowing

The edge of my mind

Standing on the street

In the rain

(unnamed and unknown)

Only sound

Assuming nothing

Seeing the echoing shape

Of the mammoth that tore

Through the brush here

(A tractor idling

Two blocks away

In the fog, unseen.)

And the dragon that roars now

For all I know

Lost in the weather

Petals blow.

Is this a river?

In a palace of water

Nothing is familiar

And the ground always shakes

I dive into

A pool of uncertainty

Going into the basement again

I reach down

Beneath the human
