Of Lace and Solder

By lupus tenebrae





Dragonflies and accusations
suffer summers, misconstrued,
enlaced with every tinge of solder.

Youth pervades a jutting hill
like thorns and thistles sharpening the
dragonflies and accusations.

Sympathy for enemies
with veins of barbs and twisted wire
suffer summers, misconstrued.

Carry this apology
on the edge of razor windmills, 
enlaced with every tinge of solder.

    Barb wire veins sound almost plausible and does conjure up a unique image, as does the razor edged windmills (envision a food processor perhaps! - HA). This was great as usual and much enjoyed, thanks Wolfie.
