a dragon in the morning
you've got to know I didn't sleep so well
last night
might have drunk a little too much good wine
indulged a bit too hard
I don't know
but today has been some kind of a mess
I haven't quite managed engagement of my head
and standing here in front of me
some kind of apparition
~
mostly they look pale
thin striped slashes
that must have really been something
when she carved them
there's so many to see
up and down the back of her arm
but they're only schnitzel-slices
nothing really
I wish she'd left her sleeves down
I'm not a fan of tattoo art
but big and blue
is her dragon
breathing red in a slash right down the centre
so bright-red it has to be on fire
I can't take my eyes away
for that one
she must have gouged deep
must have hurt
I think I might be ill
but
it's already nine o'clock and I have to see her
have to sya my piece
sort her out
get it done and then let it go
I'm hyoer-aware
that I can't keep staff off the ward
for too long
~
