Dragonfly Musing
brindled dragonfly alights on a cleft-edged
lily pad, seems to consider its once
former self, as nymph, large and small,
how it
darted -
still does
among catkins, now skirts above glass pond,
traces rays of the sun with churl gossamer,
like pardoned ladies, innocent of any crime, yet
scurrying to find the latest gossip they can
carry on invisible wings, beating the air
and all who get in the way. I'm amazed by the
sheer brazenness, mesmerized by
the gratuitous moments of draped lies.
