Amygdala
The engine of memory
constantly churning,
looking for patterns,
with sensitivity heightened
by uncontrolled anxiety
and constant reinforcement.

Children of Dragons
Chaos and laughter exist in a whirlpool.
Each maintaining its position by centrifugal force,
controlling the waters of fear and joy,
alternately pulling down and pushing up.
Inescapable waters to tread,
a baptism of pain and pleasure,
shielding those born in the shadows of dragons,
in whose mouths is both love and fire
and whose teeth both smile and bite.
