Ruffled Feathers

-

Lil' Hummingbird Absurd,

Chirp if you can hover still,

Resting on my window sill.

-

Lil' Hummingbird,

Your heart beats thrice as many times as mine.

But now you're laying on my ledge,

You've tossed and tumbled from your bed,

You're resting too close to the edge!

-

It's grim and grave,

And sad, no less,

A wounded bird,

Out of its nest.

-

Oh Lil' Hummingbird Absurd,

You've let these ants and creepy things,

Crawl in your feathers,

And your wings...

-

Stasis foretells daylight's wake,

Will you escape to somewhere safe?
