Iridescent jewels of the air
Precious flying gems
of glittery color rare:
ruby emerald and citrine
peridot sapphire and tourmaline
onyx and amethyst shades ranging
from violet to brilliant purple
Highlighted with metallics
of pewter gold and silver
Revered by the Aztec Hopi
Tewa and the Cherokee
as a fierce restless warrior
smaller than an Old World fairy
One honors my stillness
with his solitary presence
Deigning to dine from the largesse
of flirty red petunias hanging
from baskets in the buttery sunshine.

picked up the mandolin, strummed the strings and felt the sounds
any sounds, but these sounds were the best, by my own hand
and to the side of my eye, a little blur and flutter weaves
to then stare straight to it, and know, something divine
could have only been responsible for such a thing
hearts lifting, and something miraculous
and all I can mutter is, don't fly away, fly away
and I love you, love you, love you, I don't know the reason why
never needed one, never did...
the best toast has to be glazed with buttery sunshine
if only eyes can have a delight
hummingbirds are something better, that too
I don't know why
