you come briefly
fleetingly
dipping your face
into sweetness
barely a moment
to pay me heed
you drift over
bouquets of beauty
seeking the gold
that lies within
and
with your thirst assuaged
you retreat
from your bloom
briefly
to my window
gazing in
as if
as if
to say
hello
: : :
My hummingbird population seems to have exploded the last few days.
Several were arguing and chasing each other about in my garden.
After one was chased off, the last little guy/gal flew directly to my window
and hoovered there at least 5-7 seconds, looking in at me.
Or his reflection.
I didn't want to scare him away
and yet I wanted to change my lens.
Sadly, I capured no shot of him as we
stared each other down.
