For breakfast I eat up my vowels, my a e i o u, to which I add from consonants a fricative or two;
After that I move my bowels then write as poets do, and frequently am quite surprised to feel a trill come through.

Dragons
My dragon’s woken up again,
and grown very big.
It’s riding on the hand-wagon
slick with oil and spit —
a genie from its bottle moans
do it do it DO IT!

My dragon’s woken up again,
and eager to dig: 
to bury stones like dogs with bones
(marrow sucked — flesh ripped).
In blood and dung the bottle, warmed,
is cracked: the genie… SPLIT.

A little bit of (rude) Turkish: Ejderha (lit. Dragon, fig. slang for Penis) Şişe (lit.Bottle, fig. slang for Anus)
El arabası (wheelbarrow, trolley, hand wagon/cart - 'to ride the hand-wagon' slang for masturbation) Fondip (lit. from the bottom, in drinking games, to drink a shot in one go; in sexual slang 'do it' (f**k me))

Benim ejderham, yine uyandı var
ve çok büyük büyüdü. 
O el arabası biniyor 
yağlı ve şiş ile kaygan - 
onun şişeden bir cin inliyor 
fondip fondip fondip!


A little bit more turkish: Şiş (Spit, Swollen, Skewer) Yağ (Oil) 
Inlemek (to moan) Yine (Again)
