Hummingbird

Wings of ice
and desire
You’re free to fly

Go too far
You move too fast
You’ll never die

Don’t go
too near the sun
You’ll melt your wings
my precious one

Shine light
and a golden word
Moving like a rock
a mountain
Like a hummingbird

Sometimes I know you
like no one can

Other times
Slipping through
Like grains of sand

Hold on
because
I’m coming too
Just like fire and ice
You, which are you

Sometimes
I know you
and
I don’t know you

Broken dreams
Flying machines
Hover
in the wind

White light
crashing mind
in the breach
Sweet Nectar of time
out of reach out of reach

Hummingbird hummingbird
I love a hummingbird
