love letter to dragonfly 💌

little bearer of impossible light,

you arrive as though the afternoon

has remembered a secret

it has been carrying for centuries.

you do not land so much

as persuade the air

to hold you.

your wings - four clear prayers

stitched from sunlight and silence -

tremble with a language

too delicate for human mouths.

I have felt rivers

trying to become as graceful as you.

I have listened to the wind

practice your name

through reeds and willow leaves.

how come you weigh less

than a promise

yet carry whole summers

between your shimmering shoulders?

✨🌿🧚🏾
