Dragon’s Valentine

Having a cigarette with St. Michael
after you left
who said can you see
the dragon yet
yes you the one
writing this down
once in smoke words
once in words so hard
you can’t tell the difference
who said in the old days
when he was still a shepherd
he remembers carrying me back
bloodied and torn and used
from another tangle with the world
