Here Yet Be Dragons

so many languages have fallen
off of the edge of the world
into the dragon’s mouth. some
 
where there be monsters whose teeth
are sharp and sparkle with lost
 
people. lost poems. who
among us can imagine ourselves
unimagined? who
 
among us can speak with so fragile
tongue and remain proud?
