“Guardian” by Chie Yoshii
She is certain
of her role
as protector of
the animal kingdom.
Tough lady in red, fearless,
through peerless jade eyes.
My eyes of amber pierce
fierce darkness, and chilling
howls of the unknown. I send
my golden dragonfly ahead
as scout. He is only visible
to me. Possibly she feels
I am her shield, but I allow
her to think she is guardian.
It makes her happy.
