The Dragon of Snow and Starlight

by ChrisSaitta

In our love for the wind and all that passes, Each smote of self, a wisp of loss and absence, Like the snow pendulous slips over last grasses, In the glow of the lamppost and unholding fences: So too the thousand-grains of breath Blow through our bodies’ incandescence, And in the starlit-smoke from the dragon's mouth On wings of filth swirl the bone-edge of death.
