My dear Dragon dame
I can comprehend
to break your fast
why you desired crushed prize from an oysters deep
dipped in a new mothers’ milk
For your supple skin
the best of silk
I can comprehend
to break your fast
why you desired crushed prize from an oysters deep
dipped in a new mothers’ milk
For your supple skin
the best of silk
Why you needed plentiful of dishes
Of bird’s nest, sharks fins and bear’s paws
yet two mouthfuls
never the third
How a little orchid bloomed
to be a dowager
How the gentle maiden
wrapped in silk
shed it all and grew a skin of steel Not maids or eunuchs
how you got an emperor to wait for you
How you spread your decree
beyond the bastion walls
ran it all through
the middle kingdom
Yet my lady
beyond the bastion walls
ran it all through
the middle kingdom
Yet my lady
I can not fathom
why you hid behind a curtain
While you breathed flames
Why you shun the glow
while you commanded
the mind and the deeds
of an realm
why you hid behind a curtain
While you breathed flames
Why you shun the glow
while you commanded
the mind and the deeds
of an realm
