XLVI dragon

A think that all the problems in my life,
From transportation to my spirits laggin'
Feeling becalmed and broke and cold at night,
Would all be solved if I could have a dragon.
A dragon I could ride to visit friends,
Who dwell too far away for my comfort,
I'd feed him all the chocolate I could lend,
And help him catch a Kraken for desert.
I'm sure that he would be a spiffing cook,
With specialties in steak and swiss grilled cheese,
I'd sleep quite warm against the cozy nook
His wings make where they brush against his knees.
     I'd never use him for financial gain,
     Just for someone to play with through the rain.

I shouldn't read medical texts before bed.....

Lullaby

Dry-boned blinking child
I'm afraid I'll never bear,
Are we in a cradle
Or an old rocking chair?

Baby thrusting skinny
Little fingers into mine,
Our knuckles crack together,
Holding breath and keeping time.

You are thin as any whisper,
I'm concave as every word,
We are empty as an eggshell,
And your softness is absurd.

Though this dragon may deny you
I can see you from above,
You are made of crystal candy
Dreaming, stillborn little love.
