Lunch with Metallica..not what you think...



Lunch with Metallica ..not what you think..

Midmorning sun slants

through the dusty window pane

onto a red tableclothed table

I'm drawn to sit there 

for the garden view outside

Water served in a corked bottle,

white napkin, "Let it Be" on the CD

Scents of freshly baked 

savory pies hang under my nose, 

drift into autumn air

I squint out at Giant sunflower heads
set against outstretched blue sky;

newly mowed fields lead my eye
to the mirrored duck pond

A cup of green tea 

served steaming in front of me,

a slice of  warm loganberry pie,

two dollops of vanilla ice cream
sandwiched between buttery crusts
Against the barn wall,
dusty pink roses still blooming

Outside, two dragonflies
dance up to the glass,
agile movers between sun and leafy
shadows, jewels blinding me

Teal sequined bodies shimmer, 
Darting back and forth, 

Anisoptera wings maneuver into
a holding pattern

Finding me,
emerald eyes seem intent on
studying me,lingering curiously, hovering,
Mermaid-like, their iridescence dazzles me

Earthmates, we commune for an instant

Then, they dash away across
the mirrored pond
