Dragonfly Fallen

White concrete walkways burn Summer sun shows no mercy Turns worse for the dragonfly downed Another insect falls... Not an accident Creatures fail to see the gravity of life The need for water leads to thirst When not found bad things happen Consequences including death occur Crisp, dark, light of body, a corps emerged Silent, dried, a pavement spot Motionless except for a light breeze Which animates a translucent wing Waving goodbye, saluting the day A fearless dragonfly is gone It fears less today than before Less now as it is no more
