To a baby hummingbird with injured wing

2020 November 17th2018 May 26th

Afternoon is closing
The wind picks up
Late shade darkens and stretches to scary lengths
Soaring scavengers
      with monstrous shadows
      look for daylight’s last meals

Try, fly — try, fly — try, fly!

—Terri Guillemets
