Dragonfly

Few words
In English,
It seems to seethe,
Murmur as aptly
As the commoner's term
For the common, dragonfly,
The same. It whizzes by all those
Who cannot hear its wings, who break
Down in dry heaves and drier tears
Here by the monsoonal stream
The dry wash has to dream.
Smaller than it was,
Still your terror,
Jeweled life
Hunter.
