Ongoing #21

Back to the regular sequence for the next one.

First a brief word for anyone stumbling across this post without having read any earlier ones. Among the other things on this blog I am writing a series of poems each of which is inspired by one of the doodles in a book I bought where there are various half-drawn pictures for you to complete.
The latest doodle shows a Japanese looking girl flying a dragon kite.

Even for the very few regular readers there is additional backstory involved in this poem. I have a poem I wrote a long time ago called "Dragon Fight". It was about a morning in Oludeniz where I sat on the beach watching two hang-gliders above the sea.

This is a sequel. Of sorts.

Dragon Fight 2

I once saw dragons fighting in the sky.
I watched them soar and dive, I watched them die,
And when they lay, dismembered, on the sand
I shook my head, rose to my feet, and turned and walked inland.

I carried with me memories of the fray,
Though the magic of the moment drained away
And my world became, again, mundane
But even now, I close my eyes, and see the dragons rise again.
