Hummingbirds

I've been waiting on the hummingbirds
sitting on a cactus
mouthing words,
to the blue jays
and the world absurd
just waiting on the hummingbirds

 bizz and buzz and swirl

I held rubbers on red fingertips
I shook them to the sky in fits
mouthing words
and taking sips
to the world absurd
just waiting on the hummingbirds
to fly from Argentine

Are you gonna make the scene
or keep me wondering?
are you gonna dip and dart

catastrophe
 rhapsody
behind  the flutter flap

Are you gonna hover here
zig a zag
when I come near
turn the air
into a ballroomwhile I watch?

Tantalize and stir the sky

like a lifetime multiplied

dusky moments

colorized

ballerinas 

I'm waiting for the hummingbirds
I'm crimson , carved at cap
I'm up the tree
that spoke to me
and asked me to come up.
I'm waiting on the hummingbirds
my mouth is full of blood
I'm bath for you
I'm trash for you
I'm waiting , as I do.
Are you gonna hover near
zig a zag
I'm waiting here
make the air..
into a ballroom
while I watch?
I'm fading dear
I'm losing years
they're dripping down the tree
I'm waiting for the hummingbirds
to finally
see me.
I'm waiting for the hummingbirds

flying by

humming tamps the noises down

humming keeps the crowds at large

humming puts the hum

into the drum

ho hum ho hum ho hum..

to finally see me.

I’m waiting for the hummingbirds

They’ll dance

dizzy the tree

they’ll wake the air

from apathy

wing my dead face

of the fleas

I’m waiting on the hummingbirds

I’m waiting to be seen

I’m waiting on the hummingbirds

I’m waiting to be free.
