Communion

 


The sun
burns through glass
bead curtains of autumn rain

Blue dragonflies whirl
around a maple sapling
in a buzzing vortex of wind

Tree swallows dive
into the swarm
like children bobbing for apples

The rain lies down
in the earth’s open mouth,
pulls a green blanket over her head

and dreams of turquoise fighter jets
that hiss and burst
inside her ear.
