As we stole our way into the mountains
We had molten our fears and despairs
We stood apart and refused to walk in pairs.
We became Mad Men too familiar with pain
The loud howl came from within,
And our poor souls immediately grew thin.
The myth was real or so we gazed,
In the cold heat we shivered and freezed.
She looked surreal and big,
With grace did she pace her keep.
We still hoped for a glimpse to catch,
Covering our mouths with limbs we watched.
She flapped one great wing and the other,
Draguda, the black furred daughter of thunder.
Her long slender tail with a sword on it's tail,black-furred
Flailed it's way about in the dark cave.
Her eyes were red like the fire she spat,
Her Wolf nose shone, it was coral white.
Her dark furred body was always silhouetted,
As she spread her eagle wings against the sky at
Night.
After we left the keep of myth,
After we saw Her Majesty move with grace and
Power.
We were never the same.
When we returned home, we were gilded,
We just met the myth, we just met with legend.

Snapped
they said the key was broken,
so I kept it anyway.
turns out a crooked thing
still opens up the day. -
3 a.m. Draft
the moon reads over my shoulder
and pretends it isn't judging
every line I cross out. -
Unfinished
half a canvas,
half a plan,
whole heart anyway. -
Map Without Edges
I drew the road
after I walked it.
that's the only honest map. -
Margins
the best things I ever wrote
lived sideways,
in the space they told me to leave blank.
