Bicycle Day is Coming
A glass dragon explodes like the Chinese New Year
Each shattered scale singing
Each shard a mirror casting sparks
Happy New Year Happy New Happy New
The bicycle wobbles in the fractured slicing rain
Glass is blasted sand
Bathe in it, the cuts will heal;
Slivers assault the eye, bat your lashes;
Let them fall to clatter in the spokes
Pedal through spun streamers
Catch a facet that reflects the thumbed tinkle of the bell
Press it to your belt, your heart, your throat, your brow
Release the brakes and slip the chain
Launch summersault over chrome
bars to catch the falling broken wing
Obsidian children of the dragon’s flame
Take your place in the blood mosaic
