Look very lightly
look that way -
I saw a dragon there
yesterday;
His ears were open,
his eyes were shut,
his scales were as hard
as a coconut.
His body was thick,
his tail was strong,
it stretched round the railings
ten feet long...
His snores were thunderous,
Dark and deep.
He breathed like an engine
in his sleep.
Look through your lashes
faint and small..
Can you see anyone
there at all,
Down by the railings,
way-away?
I saw a dragon there
yesterday.
