Dragons guard created beauty - human gold
from the violence of humans - thugs on horseback

I see dragons every day
 poets
  teachers
   artists
    architects

Some of them

Ghandi was a dragon
   passionately in love with his people

Inés de la Cruz was a dragon
   passionately in love with God

The passion of dragons
burns new arteries in the human body
while thugs in armor
stride corridors and sidewalks
laying new lacquer
against the walls
