When the hummingbird
sinks its face
into the trumpet vine,
into the funnels



of the blossoms
and the tongue
leaps out
and throbs,


I am scorched
to realize once again
how many small, available things
are in this world



that aren’t
pieces of gold
or power-------
that nobody owns



or could but even
for a hillside of money-----
that just float
in the world,



or drift over the fields,
or into the gardens,
and into the tents of the vines,
and now here I am



spending my time,
as the saying goes,
watching until the watching turns into feeling,
so that I feel I am myself



a small bird with a terrible hunger,
with a thin beak probing and dipping
and a heart that races so fast



it is only a heart beat ahead of breaking------
and I am the hunger and the assuagement,
and also I am the leaves and the blossoms,
and, like them, I am full of delight, and shaking

If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant;
if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome.
