Dear Mike

I saw the dragon eat the moon tonight

    It fell down into its belly

        opulent, opaque, opalescent

I saw the dragon lose its jaw tonight

    Old man dragon it became

        Then no dragon at all

Dear Mike

Did you see the dragon tonight

    Opulent, opaque, opalescent

        Wispy, fairy and free?

I saw the dragon tonight

    High in the sky

        Made of clouds and wind and rain

    The moon its playmate

My backyard front row seats to this theater

Dear Mike

    Are there dragons in England

    There are in Illinois

    I saw one tonight

    It says hi

    And so do I
