Its day 32 of the #the100dayproject...
Hummingbird
Hummingbird
The hummingbird slips out its tongue
attracted to the cherry red plastic
the shiny fraud filled with sugar water.
It does not rest, instead it flutters,
its heart on the verge of breaking.
It flies with wings like glass
shattering into a thousand prisms,
its feathers like sunlight glittering
the lake in high summer.
