The Fires of Heck


Ants swarm the cake dish;,
it’s the queen’s birthday:
nothing too good,
no risk too great.

The papier-mache dragon,
on guard from the mantle
belches wood pulp,
which they ignore.

Dragon dreams a fairy, blue,
wants real flesh,
and a prehensile tongue,
teach the vermin a lesson,

and then take flight.
