Hummingbird After a Fight
For my wife

You don’t need to remember anything more than this
Of all my undaunted loves none throw back the sea or toss me to the wolves of hope or breathe like stamping stallions
None break me like stars from their mother or chipped shells upon the shore
Only yours, my cheerful tempest in all your flit and clamor, only still to take the nectar, only yours
