Earth Dragon

By Melissa Pinol

Black one
Whose skin is stone
Whose breath is burning
Whose dwelling is
Where the Earth
Cracks
And screams
An echo
Of violent
Beginnings.
Sleep
Black One
Dream your
Fiery dreams
Deep deep down
Below.
Sleep long
Do not waken
Until it is time
For the Earth
To be reborn
In burning.
