The Trash Dragon’s Sway
By Dylan M. Blackhthorn

When the Plough is rusted… and the cloak has mottled
As the clock slows it’s hand… and the chair will no longer stand…
There’s the Trash Dragon’s Sway

What is built shall fall some day… what is hewn shall rot
What is sewn shall be ripped away… when what is working now s not…
There’s the Trash Dragon’s Sway

She wraps herself in freshly broken things… this is her cloak of many colors
Torn and tattered canvasses span her wings… Flawed obsidian daggers glitter –
in her used chewing gums

What is broken is her domain… things that are lost and will never be found
The rubbish heap and the thrown away… and souls that wander aimlessly through the burial ground…
that’s the Trash Dragon’s Sway

Long forgotten booty of dead man’s chests… and their spirits that search and never rest
Wooden horses that once rocked away… and one armed dolls that feed at her breast –
There the Trash Dragon sways

She wraps herself in freshly broken things… this is her cloak of many colors
Torn and tattered canvasses span her wings… Flawed obsidian daggers, how they glitter –
And when… she rises…
A miasma of mold and must, Sea dew and rust, the ragged rot of 1,000 aeons rains down
