RIDDLE:
The hummingbird cries
inside my chest…
earth mourns with him.
tears of the night
have spilled from his eyes…
but you can’t see them.
the tumult of words
claiming the price
of loves that do not belong.
dawn as before,
deserving no more…
the hollow tree echoes his song.
the woven cup
now covered in snow
was never the home of you.
beware of his cry
for he brings the fire
when solitude remains true.
