'To Give Painless Light' – A Selection of Poems by LJS

Poem 51: Dragon Pulse

she is bleeding still

my birth

racked mother

of the left hand witness

who laughingly bled

and diamond

kneed the sun

to hold his light

from groin to throat

and back

before the dragon pulse

released her vow

once given

now twice shy

to touch his

sparkling glove

and receive

the comets tail.
