Resuscitating a dragon,
a formidable task,
there are teeth involved,
but I lean forward towards
impending doom.

I take a breath
of strange scented air,
press my lips to scales
and exhale.

A small rise of chest
in such a big thing
leaves one feeling
inadequate.

I draw in more air
to pass through
my lips into hers,
and as I do,
eyes open.

I am now face to face
with a breathing dragon,
my hands shake,
my eyes are wide,
she swallows me
in one deft bite
licking jaws.

I tumble in
dissolving on the way down
I rush through her system,
sailing her veins,
picking up speed
as I pass through
her heart and peer out
through new eyes.
