Only Dusk

only dusk brings the hummingbirds  back to me

their wings frantic coming   
frantic whirring  
tear the air  

stir me

maybe this is the praying inspiration 

maybe they will bring me into the merging of earths  

yearning colors of dusk throat wing and tongue

the long deep sips of nectar 

still beating wings

the hint of 
an elusive 
moon 
stars

and
you

jppestana

only dusk
