Dragon Mother Long Version

She fllew against the spin
a fight against the wind
a night that had no end

She fllew against the spin
diner's mouth watered
a fight against the wind
wee dragon long quartered
a night that had no end
red eyes in the night

diner's mouth watered
She fllew against the spin
wee dragon long quartered
a fight against the wind
drippings flaring the fire
a night that had no end

diner's mouth watered
wee dragon long quartered
drippings flaring the fire
red eyes in the night
queen mother in flight
bearing flame for a pyre

Getting Ready For Easter

Did you remember the ore, son

Did you remember the ore

I remembered

Did you remember the charcoal, son

Did you remember the charcoal

I remembered

Did you remember the fire, son

Did you remember the fire

I remembered

Did you remember the smith, son

Did you remember the smith

I remembered

I taught the smith to use a fire

how to turn black charcoal

into a glowing furnace

to melt dark gray ore

how to turn ore into iron

how to beat iron into shape

how to make three eight inch nails

that a Roman soon will take

and nail me to a cross

I remembered, Dad

I remembered
