how the hummingbird knew
I would deliver him is unclear
and somewhat miraculous
the flash at his throat
reminded me of you –
that gleam before the deeper
hours of night descend
how true that some longings
can never be emancipated

Indeed some longings cling to us…no matter how hard we try to free ourselves.
Exquisite!
Well expressed.
Thank you, Sarah, for following my blog.
My best to you
