All the angels on TV have white feathered wings But I don't think it really works like that. Does it? Dragonfly wings have no feathers Once I saved a dragonfly whose wing was stuck to some tape on a package of flowers But I could not save you Your uncle said that you were one of them As if an opiate addiction was like a cult that you decided to join And though your father and I were no longer "us" When I heard the news We followed all the shallow protocol Do you think the dragonfly was jinxed before I saved it? As if I have some control over planetary occurrences... All my sighs spin dragonflies around and their wings do not bleed But ours do.
