CHARM
a charm of humming birds,
jeweled in sunlight,
their wings beat of understandings,
to curtail all sobbing crowds;
brooch this veil to his chest,
he who ignites sorrow in the light of day
come, lament your woes in divine halls
cloistered in stained glass windows
a shadow of its backward dance
these humming birds unique in their
flights of nourishing awe
here lamb are fed on daily bread
