The hummingbird was
humming at the feeder
I was at the kitchen sink
The bird looked up and saw me there
Hummed a beeline straight for me
He didn’t see the window
He hit it with such force
It shook and rattled loudly
And knocked him off his course

He landed with an awful thud
Still and dazed he froze there
A perfect silhouette
My heart was pounding fiercely
As I worried what came next
Just like that, he shook it off
A moment passed in wonder, then
Just a little worse for wear
He seemed to wave goodbye
With a fierce buzz and hum
Humbled bird was at once
Re-humming at the feeder
