Blackberry thornbushes under the bridge
teeming in edges and corners
that feed on the threads of the sun
giving sweet black blood to the mouth
breezes blowing thorns across ragged concrete
as I listen to the scratching sound
and imagine the tail of a dragon
swishing across cluttered lots
getting ready to strike sparks
from the armor of death.
