Dragon’s Claw
By JFarrell
(inspired by Robin Hobb’s “Farseer Trilogy”)
As they found Prince Verity,
So you find me;
Dishevelled, exhausted,
But I can’t stop.
So,
Covered in weeks old dust,
I take up my mallet and chisel,
And return to my stone,
My half formed dragon…
Years,
I have been here,
Chipping away,
Scraping,
Smoothing..
Come closer,
Look…
A single, hooked,
Curved talon;
Thrice times as long,
As I am tall.
The edges are chipped, uneven,
My dragon,
Who I shall name Malleable,
Lives in the mountains;
The talons are chipped,
From the mountain debris, crushed,
As she lands on a ledge,
And just looks out,
At everything.
Forever.
