Pocketful of Dragons

[billy]

The girl from Kansas was a virgin,
who spun with silver steps
like flint casting sparks only
to die, a final note from a song. i loved that song when she sang it.

Little Jackie Paper was not
a metaphor for imagination.
Boys do not live
forever, and Puff became less did you miss an 's' ?
than smog. Must I explain your stories?

This road leads past a little field,
which is not a story--and is
a green heart, a gray artery traveling
by fiat in strange alchemy. this and the next line made me linger, liked fiat a lot
The world is lead under this hollow sky.

Their hoards were breath
that burns away dross,
growing smaller as we remember
tidy morals that can be folded away.
This stream no longer glitters.
Forgetting is a fire
that burns without light.




Title from a thread in Poetry Practise

i love it and the 's' thing is there for fun (take no notice of it)
lots to enjoy
. for me the end of the poem was the best, specially the last two lines. i feel them around me
