Outlined
in the deepening dusk,
erratic silhouettes
zig and zag for insects.
Swooping in one-hundred-foot circles.
Disappearing, reappearing,
fluttering on wings of skin
just above the canopy of oaks.
It's a fascinating show, so,
watch it while you can,
before the fading light
dims to darkness;
though the show
continues
into the night,
unseen.
