another beautiful post by Samantha Johnson:
the hummingbird hovers above the window sill
while you sway in your rocking chair.
i’ve made you tea with extra tender, love, care,
and honey—just the way you like,
with some brownie bites on the side.
i place it in your lap and sit at your feet.
you stop rocking and my arms coil
around your calf. my head takes a rest.
it’s almost summer and the sun is heatingup,
like our souls, in the mix of wonderand worry.
we bury the mess and show our smiles,
content for a while.
