Dragonfly
Dragonfly

She hovers over the surface
all metallic blue and green
shunning a drab camouflage
the insect helicopter.

Tucked her spindly undercarriage
whirring her dragonfly rotors
she menaces the shining waters
carapaced gunship.

Apache blackhawk pretender
floating mystery in space
she dreams of the duckweed deep
nursery of the beast.
