verse: Dragonfly

And summer
was not aware
of you

tensed and
covetous
just below
the water's
dark shivery
surface

how long
have you
been there
poised
like a dancer
expectant
as a mother
contemplating
the tender
mercy of your prey

I could never
be so patient
but then
I could never
shed my skin
no matter how
hard I tried
