Poem: [the dragon stays below the surface]

By Jack Brummet



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

Water pours down from heaven
And fire rises up

From the center of the earth.
Earth sucks in lightning

To electrify itself
Like Frankenstein's monster.

2
Let the blue turtle go.
Train your eyes
Like a bobcat.

3
Leave the knife beneath your cloak—
Let things pass
Because all things must pass.

4
Awareness of danger
Brings good fortune
As you cross the great water.
