The Dragon’s Dog:
The Drake
The dragon learned to lamp bodies black,
to raisin blood in arteries, to make fire
burn the stink from skulls through popped-out eyes.
Turn churches red. Mink children hot with ash.
Inhaling, quiet, the devil heard a crash
where plates from a dining room where rubble, sliding
toward a pit stalled, and a puppy’s eyes
beheld the drake. And she standed on her back
legs and shook a little as she cried.
He tried to fly away all night. But the puppy.
He burned his favorite cities down, but the puppy
just kept crying, oooooo, and he sang back, ooooooo.
And she was so cute. He fed her and lied
about the world, about cruelty.
