Let Sleeping Dragons Lie – by Heather Bickel
I am ancient
My ancestors jagged cliff faces, massive boulders, and crystal caves
I lie dormant, a sleeping volcano
Aaaahhh, but wait…are you sure you want to start the bellows?
Embers thought long dead warm and glow red hot
Wisps of flame tumble like blowing leaves on every exhaled breath
Firelight dances ecstatically across metallic scales
Black claws sharp as glass, hard as diamonds, scrape the ground like nails on chalkboard
Muscles ripple and bulge, gathering strength in crouching, reptilian intensity
Leathery wings unfold and test the air
Gold eyes fix you in their gaze, paralyzing you, peeling back your skin to reveal your naked soul
The dragon is awake, now what will you do?
