In a Dance to Death

July 25th 2023

Oh! - The possibility

stretched across the glassy wings

of a blue-ish dragonfly,

dancing in the summer breeze.

But a surprise transpires,

for the insect now to be

nothing more than a quick meal;

a swift challenge of new wings.

The Martin, grey and ruffled,

clumsy yet formidably

aware that he must survive this;

how else will he come to be?

Surely he will soon become

composed of her glassy wings;

a blue-ish compilation

of lustrous possibilities.
