Hummingbird

Hello tiny friend

In inclement weather

We lock eyes.

You with hope, hunger and color

And I in vain melancholy.

Your wings fluttering rapidly, slicing through rain drops 

Mocking them to stain you wet.

a mockery of my moping. 

And when the drizzle turns torrent

You fly out to the next damp twig

And await the clouds passing to resume your mocking.
