Dragon

Dragon
by me(whatever)
5/26/15 3:55 AM Lucy Rose- Shiver

Your umbrella drips dry in the rain,
The shadows on the wall a part of you.
In the gray morning, you look out your window
for the persimmon tree you used to talk to.

The boat in the painting sails without a soul,
across the gap in your heart you refuse to see.
You open a book full of the pieces of someone else,
to distract the dragon when it gets too hungry.

The fire kindles and sparks in the heather,
yet you wear your large, gray coat and shiver.
sometimes you peer endlessly at the brick wall,
removing it brick by brick until its gone.
And then build it up again.
