Poem: [the dragon]

1
The dragon
Stays below the surface
Because the time to act is not now.

2
Water pours down from heaven
And fire rises up
From the center of the earth.

Earth sucks in lightning
To charge itself
Like Frankenstein's monster.

3
Let the blue turtle go.
Train your eyes
Like a stalking bobcat.

4
Leave the knife beneath your cloak—
Let things pass
Because all things must pass

5
Awareness of danger
Brings good fortune
As you cross the great water.
