Hummingbird Passing By

 


Soaring through the sky,

you disappeared into the sea of trees

30 feet up.

Eager to spot you again,

I bat my eyes left to right, and nothing-

you're too fast for me and I can't keep up.

At any rate, love will arch over you like a

rainbow of affection.

That was not a disingenuous erection of dramatic tundra.

This is microscopic tidal waves

of subliminal adoration, leading itself.

This is inherent devotion to your being.

Do you prey on me?

Because I can feel the gentle rest of your hands over me 

when your scent sticks in my nasal passage ways.

Sitting here sun burning, I tell myself the warmth is your breathing...
