on the porch


If I am patient the humming birds will let me stand next to them
the whir of wings and small chirps as they feed
on sugar water, they don't care if it's red
or if it comes from a plastic flower.
they need calories to keep their four chambered
engine running faster than I can blink.
And I need to be near the iridescent miracle
of such a small sun.
