Royal Queen of Dragonfire
and we start counting down
Costumes put away in attics
At a float's approach the
Throw me som'pin mistah
yells the crowd along the curb
crowds surge the street en masse
The riders throw them something
as if they could be heard
or closets in the hall
Last fling before the austere
The roar of human masses drowns
out single voice or thought
days of Lent we celebrate
Only beads-doubl
oons-trinket
s
appease the crowd's onslaught
the days to MardiGras next year
remind us the fun we shared
with parties and bright parades
King Cake for Dragonfire
Lady Justice Dragonfire
to make the grayness wait
Purple green and golden hues
shade everything in sight
with loved ones dear
At midnight Carnival will end
Distant roar of motorcycles
nearing sounds so right
like Cinderella'
s ball
Horses step in rhythm
cadence clopping as they pass
