hummingbirds
joust among the bottlebrush
my heart beat once as fast

the redhead and the brunette
arrived at the buffet
at the same time
they circled each other warily
though there was plenty of food
the redhead lunged at the brunette
forcing her away from
the table
then chased her
screaming
from the dining hall
and returned to
eat alone
Poem 20141222
where you walk
stones split open
underfoot
and voices of fire
whisper the secrets
of worlds below
where you tarry
lavender springs from the earth
and the air fills with
the conversation of bees
and the whispers of hummingbirds
where you sleep
the stars weep with bitterness
envious of the earth
upon which you lay your head
and the darkness
seeks to cover you
like a mantle
