Through
the
open
window
you
fall
, gorget
bright
as
may
’s
azaleas
,
and
you
make
a
perch
of
my
trembling
finger
,
your
wings
still
wet
from
the
chrysalis
that
hummed
you
into
flight
.
I
try
to
smooth
the
feathers
that
frame
your
face
and
prick
my
finger
upon
your
beak
,
a
nectar
seeking
needle
,
tongue
a
siphon
for
sweetness
.
Maybe
you
are
broken
,
but
still
,
there
’s
so
much
sky
.
So
much
blue
to
dance
in
,
you
and
I
.
