Orange Crush - May 10, 2026

two orange dragonflies

who weave their spiraling dance

in loops above the pond

are dating

three orange dragonflies

that weave their spiraling dance

in loops above the pond

are a doomed threesome

one lover will be spurned

and spin off

the other two will end their

double-wheeled twist of a weightless

roller coaster ride on a twig

then with bodies probing, on will

consummate with a final twirl

and deposit, a double helix of DNA

what can you say about those

who never move in a direct line

to get what they want, but dance

and dance and dance around

the object of their affection

I’d say that’s rather romantic
