Post. Script.

Then again, maybe we have all the things we want here already. Maybe all we have to do is open our eyes to them.

Unlike tigers, dragons are so immense, I would never see one in its entirety. But I could explore the mountains, which are the top of its head...In quarries I could see its strata, the dragon's veins and muscles; the minerals, its teeth and bones...Its tongue is the lightening. And the red that lightening gives to the world is strong and lucky-in blood, poppies, roses, rubies, the red feathers of birds, the red carp, the cherry tree, the peony, the line alongside the turtle's eyes and the mallard's. In the spring when the dragon awakes, I watched its turnings in the rivers.
