I had forgotten how heavily they bend leaf and stem and how beautifully they look -- like beaded pins. I must rise early and return, and return, and return.

Water Weight
Every morning, dragonflies and damselflies carry the weight of dew on their eyes, faces, thoraxes, abdomens, and legs. Seeking sun, they must dry before flight is light.
I had forgotten how heavily they bend leaf and stem and how beautifully they look -- like beaded pins. I must rise early and return, and return, and return.
