J.R. Solonche

A Dragonfly

A dragonfly comes
into my field of vision.

It hangs motionless
a moment,

two moments,
then leaves the way it came.

Or was it a thought?
No.

Thoughts do not
have such transparent wings.

Thoughts do not leave
the way they come.

Above a Host

Above a host
of titmice & chickadees,

one jay, the bulk
of any four or five,

bulls its blue into the black
circle of seed,

scattering tit-
mouse & chick-

adee all around like
cinders from a blue flame.

Now that's what
I call respect.
