"Drowning Hearts and Dragon Smoke"
Incense is perfuming
in smoke that is breathing,
drawing images of snakes and dragons,
burning fires on pyramids,
while Wolf Larsen grapples at this heart
that dances in its' capsule
but drowning ever still
so slowly and so concerned.
And it--this sick and sad salt-water heart--
sings to me little songs
all about kitchen knives and razor blades
and tells me that love is not scary
as sex is not brave
but that they are only illusions,
as illusive as they are guaranteed
and as ashamed as they are proud.
Because just like love the music will stop.
Just like sex the smoke will die.
And just as everything must,
the dragon will sleep.
