She Might Come By If You Are Silent
if you are silent
not merely quiet
but if you do not make a sound
she might come by
can I breathe
not loudly
and so we waited.
four afternoons in a row
she arrived on the fifth afternoon
landed on a verdent stalk
she was exquisite with faerie wings
prettiest damselfly I have ever seen
only damsel fly I have ever seen
