Dragonsilver

i’ve forgotten the fire
that breathes forth deep from the throat
i’ve forgotten the fire
that roars from between the teeth

i lost the meaning of those words somewhere between
your wall and my door
and you did as well

the smoke lingers like the silver tail
awaiting to spike the heart once more
all the while
tongues lick wounds deep under the scales
remembering
remembering
that the wings folded to let us fall
