As in each morning
he hands you back
your heart not
invalidated openly
but crinkled and unsteady
and sends you back
for cross examination
excellent and exhaustive
doddering across streams and streets
as in life that hummingbird
but that’s not it
the spirit can’t be sick
the poem won’t just sit still
won’t symbolize a self
for itself real or fake.
