Dragonfly Bokeh

            photographed at Ladew Gardens Maryland

what delicate lives we lead,
as fragile and royal as a dragonfly
stroking a flower petal,
as intricate as the wings
we do not notice
until she becomes still

in a moment
life
in another moment
death
slices eternity in two
the way her tail slices the wind
