We craft
the dragons at
the kitchen table - we
being the least one and me - in
paper,
and tape,
and coloring,
too. Names to match designs:
Berwyn, Dahlia, Raspberry, and
Phoenix.
Creatures
of flight and fire.
Imagine! Dragons! The
happily-ever-after kind.
Good beasts.
Berwyn started the dragon crafting. The young one saw a video, wanted to replicate what she saw, and before I knew it, I had dragons covering my kitchen table.
That’s how it goes. First comes dragons, then comes poetry. I know not what comes next.
But that’s okay.
Sometimes, a girl just needs a dragon. Or four.
