tiny green body,
she hovers where stories live—
between what we say

You say,
“It’s just another hummingbird day.”

But look—

a small green flame
hovering in the air
like a thought the world is having.

Every morning
the universe practices this trick:

wings faster than worry,
a heart beating like a tiny drum of praise.

Tell me again
what you mean
by ordinary.

Costas Hummingbird Just Off Our Patio — Image by kenne

Costa’s hummingbirds are common in the Tucson desert area this time of year, but not often in Nebraska. This morning, the Arizona Daily Star had front-page lead article: Costa’s hummingbird set free after rescue, road trip. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qjum7TybOGVU6iObzWNUEeSscKyZ0IzTqe2ndFxZN0Q/edit?usp=sharing

She arrives without sound,
only the shimmer of green
and the hum of still air.

Beak dips to red bloom,
sipping the sun’s sweet echo
drop by hidden drop.

For a moment, she hangs
between heartbeat and breeze—
then vanishes in a dart.

Hummingbird hovers—

a silhouette in still light,

wings whisper at dusk.

Feeder swings, she guards—

fierce spark in a velvet blur,

nectar worth the chase.

I fly to the “Flight of the Bumblebee”

I dance to “Shout”

I sing to “The Power of Love”

I live to the “Songs of Life”

I create to “Kind of Blue”

Woodpeckers have long tongues and can hang from the feeder containing the nectar, making it easy for them to raid the feeder.

Sometimes you hear them

Their humming sound makes us look

Making eye contact.
