Poem: Hummingbird #the100dayproject Day 32...68 more to go

Its day 32 of the #the100dayproject...

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.
