dancing dragons

flying in stream shade

green as ocean deeps

feasting on gnats sun-struck blips

in cool water light

gems with wings

flash-flicker flick light

turquoise indigo

black gold blood and russet red

myths in motion

hover then flip

land on the slenderest leaf

water-skimming

machine-hot metallic tints

glint in cool leaf gloom
