a hummingbird is
trapped in my chest
its wings furiously beat
against the ribs
just left of center
and the world has become
awash in water
and it floods my ear canals
and everything is muted
except for that bird
and its furious wings

Thank you so much. That’s very kind.
the power of the image of a hummingbird not just fluttering, but seeking escape from being trapped, furiously, is amazing
Thank you very much.
