You Are a Dragonfly & I Am Also a Dragonfly

by Dalton Day

You are a dragonfly & I am also a dragonfly.

You & I like to sit on the long leaves of plants on humid days, cutting the green air open with our sharp blue bodies simply by being there.

When we move, it is in quick bursts, like how someone breathes when they are trying to stop crying.

Neither you nor I have ever cried. We don’t even know about crying.

Every time we see a pond, it is the first time we have seen a pond.

"Dinosaurs Smelled Magnolias"

by Dalton Day

I am climbing a magnolia tree

& you are telling me

that magnolia trees existed

before bees did

which means that

dinosaurs smelled magnolias

& that maybe that

was the last scent

a dinosaur smelled

before it all went bad

& dark & bad &

when I am safely in the tree

you put your hands together

in the shape of a bowl

or a magnolia & that is

where I would like to sleep

& so I do & so I do.

How quiet. I’m a collapsing house. Come collect me.

I think the trees are firework taxidermy. A steady reminder of celebration and light. How quiet. I’m a collaps- ing house. Come collect me.
