Hummingbird
the yellow honey eater
is dipping her beak into
the remembrance of human lives
her
wings hum around
the desires of hunger lingering in
human bellies
sweetness not enough

questioning and seeing the small
she sees the young beggar
with a bent leg stretching
her arms bent in an orangutan style
she was forced to cut one limb

My daughter with winds in her feet.

Still not here
But assuring her
He will return
For each and all
Winter trees
Pencil like gray outlines
Fragile like her weeping.
But I know
He will return.
Spring, opal
Green like my broom
Painted for His honour.
When will He be here
To see the blossoms
On the trees.
Blood red blossoms
Fluttering like her happ
