Far Better Dragons

…

We have made wing improvements, see?
When we spangle them just right, they
take flight. They shine.

We whine that we can’t do anything about
the talons, the sharp-played edges that
etch and cut and sting.

But see, here’s the thing: they’re still
falling, and clouds have no handles and
without them there’s no song to bring.
