Furies Valentine

But that’s a hummingbird
tsk-tsking in the chaste
tree so loudly but when
I come to look he goes
silent then I see
his shadow escaping
from the other side
of the tree it sounds like
a scolding a chastisement
which no one can evade
a hook at the end
of the whip he lashes
over the backyard shade
