About On Gossamer Wings

Over still ponds and long grass, certain wings catch the light differently, so fine and veined they seem spun from air itself. A dragonfly pivots mid-hover, its four wings beating in independent rhythm; a lacewing settles on a stem, pale as sea-glass. At dusk the moths emerge, trading the meadow's color for its softer, cooler geometry of scent and shadow.
