Dawn & Dusk

She raises dragons
In her chest
Beasts of fiery fury
Of blood-soaked red

Her heart trembles
At their churning
Her hands write
To sate their yearning

Endlessly they eat
Words and phrases
Little chunks of knowledge
Severed from pages

They spewed out flames
Dark and bitter
But their thick clouds of smoke
Were making her wither

So she took them to a river
Of endless gold
Bade them to drink
From this heavenly flow

Their eyes lit up
As their flames turned pure white
And they swept her up
And away from this night
