Notes About The Poem

Wind Chime In a Wind Storm

The giant blue and green dragonfly, 
with its broken wing,
tries madly to escape 
its silver cage.

The poor old thing doesn't believe
escape from its sturdy ring
is an impossible reshape
of its once golden age.

I turn away with a sigh,
realizing with a sharp sting,
that I, too, am caught in a dreamscape
of impotent rage.
