Ontomologies [title is optional]
A last Mayfly leverages
through the morning’s spaces,
not a massive mosquito
like I used to fear.
So sheer. Filament struts dangle
beneath veined onion skin wings,
cottonwood waft of stuff
while daylily spears sag
beneath June’s amassing piles,
brittle detrituses with keratin claws.)
Vickie, Good to see you here. I thought those mayflies were “massive mosquitos” also. They freaked me out,
Thanks! Did I miss seeing yours or have I yet to look
forward to one?
This is a very tight poem that really snaps.
Your comment snaps too.
