There’s A Dragon Fly Poem by Gert Strydom

hanging at the mirror image of the window
catching the eye of a shrike
and the bird flashes past with stretched out claws
and for a moment the insect vibrates scared

and are swept away
by the bird that later twitters on the barbed wire
where it pierces the insect with a nail
and I am caught in the scene

and see the spreading its black wings
preparing for the next victim
and every insect that it spots
it catches.
