Snapdragons
Snapdragons (edit) One is a serpent on the wing, the other a butterfly. Each belongs to species created from tissue paper, water, and light. When half-awake I can hear the droning of their nocturnal flights, amber engines rattle cut-glass hangers as they lift off to carpet bomb our dreams.

Snapdragons Crackle
Snapdragons Crackle Snapdragons crackle in the air for Maura and her flowing gait, a swagger neither Nora nor Maureen would ever let a suitor savor.
