A Night With A Dragon

The dragon’s head was large, she said.
She repeated: LARGE. 

Which head was she referring to? They wanted to know. 
Details, please. 
We have never been with a dragon, they said.

Nobody has been so lucky.
I cannot give more than that. 
Fires will be blown if I let on more.

Did it bite you? They wanted to know. 
Only in the best ways, she replied. 
And did it speak? 
In whispers. In tongues. I could not understand. 

And will you see it again? Should we say “he”? They wondered. 
No, we shall not meet again. 
I want all of him, but a future together is not in the cards.
Dragons are lonely creatures,
and I need more love than he can give.

But you don’t regret it? they asked.
No, I regret nothing, she said.
