\nI chased as it flew
\nover sun-dazzled breeze.<\/p>\n
\nsparkle-dancing deliberate lines,
\nfaster, faster;<\/p>\n
\nfar from the outlying tide,
\ntuning its own event horizon.<\/p>\n
\ntwice I caught up, almost
\ngot a foot down on it.<\/p>\n
\nin long padded coat
\nwith a pixy hat,<\/p>\n
\nnearly caught me a tinny foil dragonfly
\nout of the dunes.<\/p>\n
