Poetry
Dragonfly at Delphi
Watch her there!
She falls and rises surely
within this forge of air that tries us all -
beyond us, at long last.
A god’s voice from the fissure,
a vision half-explained and never owned.
Cicada cries unite
in harmony all about
their broken troves of stone, as she flies free.
