Smoking hot book

the book was smoking hot
you could see the gray whirls escaping
I wondered at the danger of opening it

laughed when I saw the fierce dragon
someone had done such a job on this novel
the head was intricately carved

she had scalloped fingers and flame-like wings
I was entranced and enchanted
who climbs out of a book like this?

she was trying to whisper something to me
I put my ear a little closer but was wary
after all, who wants their ear on fire?
