Winter Writing Sanctuary, 1.2. Changing your perspective, Invitation D: Small Stories


 

Dragonfly, or
A Six-Month Life
 
Is there anything else 
other than flight? 
Catching prey 
in the basket of 
my legs and 
keeping the 
swarm
alive. 
Perhaps. 

The pond and 
the garden are 
my universe 
and the many 
ways that 
light enters 
and glances 
off my wings. 

This spark, this 
corner, this 
wheel, the 
delight of 
diving briefly 
into the water. 
And then. 

And then, everything 
depends on
the weather.

Is there any 
other time but
now?
