Hummingbird

Meaghan McLaughlin

Every word hangs in my head

like a hummingbird.

It's buzzing echo's all that I heard.

Not done with this yet...think we got an angel.

Not done with this yet...

my heart beats so hard, it hurts.

Just tell me if I could be wrong, and

what is worth the work?

Is "us" worth saving? Have I put shame in the whole idea?

...and the night comes in spasm.

I sleep in my dirt.

I'm forgetful 'til my dreams replay the worst.

...and I'm not just the devil...

but didn't I bring us both to hell?

I'm not just you're devil.

My heart beats black and blue.

...in the blink of an eye, fast as a

hummingbird flying by...
