The Dragon Wakes  or  One, Two, Three, Four

One dark eyelid quivers,
Two orbs of yellow fire revealed,
Three tiny curls of smoke drift up,
Four steel claws flex, stretch...

One rusty head raises to the sky,
Two thick arms scrabble and heave,
Three times the red tail lashes,
Four feet steady on the ground...

One roar echoes around,
Two mighty wings raised,
Three surges take him upward,
Four blasts of fire sear the earth...

No man sees the dragon leave.
