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.
