Dragonflies Dancing in Courtship

By lupus tenebrae

Dragonflies, wings blurred
and beating, their distant hum
swallowed by the swelling song

of traffic, courtship
danced agile in humid haste;
love entwined on beds of lace.

Wonderful closing metaphor Wolfie; I can almost see them now. A kiss goodbye before unclasping to terrorize the mosquito-filled sky. Cheers! - Dan
