When the Hummingbird Appears

 

WHEN THE HUMMINGBIRD APPEARS


I’m here to make a poem.

--Deborah A. Miranda


Carry coffee to cairns

setting red clay cup

on road, spilling

as I kneel

before the stones

losing balanced


Righting myself

sun at my back

I replace several flat

stones

that have fallen

during the night


It is early

and I am up

doing my work
