There are some things you can’t describe
The still-winged flight of a dragonfly for example
How it simultaneously hovers and veers
And then with a single spasm moves out

How do you write down a way
How do you explicate an attitude
How record a charism a hesitation a whim
How catalogue a refusal

How do you translate a thing into words
Only if ever by conceding the disparity of words and things
You assert importune address abstract acknowledge
Dear dragonfly how your flight enchanted me
