                                     I Think I Am Removed . . .

I think I am removed from the dragon fly,
but I am carried with it through the twists and turns
of the summer’s warm air, past the papyrus and African iris,
up and over the dying black oak.
Then, perched on a slim, green stalk of weed
I find myself alone, my glassy wings folded,
my slender body holding onto the breeze,
and I see - as little as this might seem -
the universe.
