Comme une Libellule

Ripping wings off dragonflies

is a guilty pastime of mine


An irredeemable effort to retain some

semblance of control over my life


If one wing is severed, three flutter frantically

to keep the feeble worm aloft


If two are lost, there is nothing left to do but fall

And falling is the best part


Sometimes you need to ground yourself

to gain a new perspective.
