Silly Little Dragon
You should have known.
Silly dragon,
Why do you cry?
Silly dragon,
Why did you believe.
Silly dragon
They brought fire alive,
Then took your flame.
Now you are deprived.
Silly dragon,
No one loves you.
Silly dragon.
You should have known.
Silly dragon,
Now alone
Without a place called home.
Silly dragon,
It’s all your fault.
You cared too much,
You love too rough.
Silly dragon,
What are you?
Silly dragon,
Beaten and bruised.
Silly dragon,
All you wanted was warmth
Now you’re alone, tortured and scourged.
Silly dragon,
I now see why you cry,
A tooth for a tooth, and eye for an eye.
Silly dragon,
We should make them pay,
Wrought upon the ones who may.
Make us feeble and weak and hurt and cry.
Unleash your fury, take to the sky.
Silly dragon,
I am hurting too,
Let’s bring forth a reckoning, me and you.

A New Beginning
Tony couldn’t sit still, crossing and uncrossing his legs, trying to calm his trembling hands as Clara stood at the office window deep in thought. The airline ticket in his shirt pocket moved to the beat of his heart¬– each beat bringing back the nightmare causing memories of the words he’d spoken over ten years ago. Thanks to Clara he’d finally gained the courage to buy that ticket.
