Even in early darkness
the hummingbirds come
to save our lives
the birdbath
at low tide
no freeze warning
oranges gather
cheerful
even in the dark
when I walked into Chartres
I thought now this is thinking
to build by a stream of stones
tonight that spider Mubarak
has caught a million beehives
in his dripping web
the moon was so new
I couldn’t say a word about it
when it asked me
they want to wipe
the slate clean and start fresh
even if with their own blood.
