Something about Summer

Today, while I sat in the meadow tapping it,
to the rise and falling hum,
of the horde of bees that hover above the creek,
a purple dragonfly chose my big left toe as his landing strip.

I reached to pluck a blade of grass and dislodge one of his pipe cleaner legs
from the pale pink polish I had just brushed on the nail yet still, he remained;
drawn perhaps to the opalescent slickery as it absorbed all of the suns light,
into a tiny pool of shell insides.

Maybe though, he was just politely listening to my voice
as I asked him how long he intended to stay
...on my person this day,
for as everyone knows it is very difficult to rid yourself of guests in June.
It's just something about summer
...or so they say.
