want
Watching fire
a dragon
the dragon
rattles, chuffs
rakes with loving talons
still alone though
as dragons are
as humans are
Wishing you wanted me
or anyone really but
I'd like if I were one
Wishing you wanted me
would could let me in
through your walls your skin
Wishing you wanted me
rather as well as might others
whose want I cannot share
Wishing you wanted me
like fishes' futile gasping
for what can will never be
There's no dragon here now
Wishing…
gone…
