DAMSELFLY AT OXFORD ISLAND

By Glen Wilson


He is moonlit blue,

contact-graph-paper wings,

tapered asymmetrical weights for limbs,

the foolish look burnished when aerial,

what each of us worship is seldom simple.

For woven in each wing,

is a map of rivers the heavens wept,

seams burdened, criss-crossed

with beauty and risk.
