THE DRAGON IN MY CHEST

Confession: part of the reason I wrote this poem was to give me an excuse to post the HEART song.




THE DRAGON IN MY CHEST
by matt burns

The Dragon in my chest
Has been asleep
For so long

Then a Tinder message comes
I send one back
And there's another

I feel the Dragon stirring
He turns over
He snorts
He smacks his lips

But the messages cease
And the Dragon's quiet again

Back to sleep,
There's not a peep.
It's good to know,
He's in there, though.

All along,
He's been in bed.
Wow
I thought
he was
good
as
dead.
