You Are a Dragonfly & I Am Also a Dragonfly
by Dalton Day
You are a dragonfly
& I am also a dragonfly.You & I like to sit
on the long leaves of plants
on humid days, cutting
the green air open
with our sharp blue bodies
simply by being there.When we move,
it is in quick bursts,
like how someone breathes
when they are trying
to stop crying.Neither you nor I have ever cried.
We don’t even know about crying.Every time we see a pond,
it is the first time
we have seen a pond.
