Moving to a new place in the forest, grape vines wrapping the window. A
hummingbird nest.
Lichen lined grasses.
For a few weeks I looked out the window to peer from a few inches into
her progeny process.
The eggs were (_ T I N Y _) .
Only half that size ...
More like this (**)(**)(**)
Three hummingbird chicks bloomed.
Another couple weeks and I chanced one day to notice her hover a few
inches from my window to see in.
The last time she saw me was smiling.

the god of music and poetry
took the form of a hummingbird and descended
into the underworld to make love to a goddess
who then gave birth to the first flower
a hummingbird brought back a flower
the hummingbird gets smoke from a caterpillar
the hummingbird brings smoke to the shaman to purify
one man and woman became a hummingbird
and a red flower
in fields of spring flowers
he would approach her and whisper magical secrets
the hummingbird’s bright colors came after it
flew through a rainbow in search of rainclouds
a hummingbird taught a woman
how to weave a basket
hummingbirds are dead ancestors
the hummingbird is the sun in disguise
trying to court the moon
hummingbird feathers hasten rebirth
two hummingbirds were created
from feathers of other birds
a hummingbird pierced
the tongue of an ancient king
when people lived underground
the hummingbird found a path to sunlight
a hummingbird was sent
to find out what was above the sky
a medicine man turned himself into a hummingbird
the hummingbird zigzags
hummingbirds convinced the gods to bring rain
a hummingbird flew to the center of the earth
pleaded with the goddess of fertility
the hummingbird never lost
faith in the great mother
