		Green Dreams

Finally
I can shed heavy robes, and official jewelry
and take to the simple skies
on the back that fits so smoothly
	I hurry to her den
		shaking my hair loose
		  from the encumbering diadem
   	   greeted gleefully with a snarling roar
	We rise, Nasha and I
wings thrusting great hurricane gusts as we
		defiantly greet nebulous clouds
	Wings stretched taut,
		we glide and circle
		ignoring the tug of earth
		free
	     simple
	  alone (together)
	woman and dragon
	common thirst binds tight
		(open expanses
		  blue-green sky
			cold whistling wind past my blinking eyes)
			Nasha flies
		green dream
		sparkling, sinuous
	   snaking tail curls and twists
	   the world turns beneath us
		leaps upward
Landing, we belong
		to the world

	I have
		responsibilities
		obligations
					
					    (green dreams)
