Grey. Dark. Clear. Still.

The image works with the poem or, at least, it tries to do so.
dead dragonfly on its back

 

Dragonfly

on a window sill

on its back.

Fly.

No iridscence

only brittle,

grey,

dark

clear wings,

still.

And all I can

manage

is a poem

and a picture

and maybe you.

    Is that a marcher
    beaten into the ground by
    an over zealous policeman?

    Or one with hopes for a
    different future,
    who finally realizes
    it’s not going to
    happen.

    Zealots.
    Bending over us.
    Grinding
    Our hopes
    down.
    They don’t know
    Our bones
    fertilize
    hope.
