a dragonfly alights on a boulder, zipping to stillness

mountain magpie
flits from post to post,
skirting our camp
the cattle afar
turn sharp eyes upon me,
and i know they’re wild
caterpillar queue
marches in lockstep
across the road
rimmed with black tadpoles
& roiling with orange koi,
the lake brims with life
