YOU SAY WHEN YOU DIE IN FOREIGN PARTS, REEDS IN THE WIND WILL STAND IN – TO A POETRY FRIEND WHO DIED FROM THE VIRUS

Last summer
we walked at the reservoir,
saw how the reeds
swayed in the wind.
Two dragonflies,
one on top of the other,
landed on a reed.
Then
the wind picked up,
they couldn’t stay,
had to fly up
in the wind doing their thing,
one stacked on another
up in the air.
