In the Land of Dead Dragonflies....



I’ve seen you darting, surveying for a place to land.
In the tumult and crash tide breaking in awe and weeping,
gone silent their lament that arrived in the receding night.

Some running “tra la la la-ing” along.
All hear nothing, no signs, no signals, no voice. 
Behind a cloud shinning cool. 

I saw your stain glass wings shattered; an iridescent stain on the cruel concrete. Which dumb St. George smote you? Whose unfeeling limb? Who so reckless with your message? 

Finally landed.
