A hummingbird accidentally
entangled itself in her
niece's hair, so she did
what any aunt would do,
she reached over and began
to untangle them;
as you can imagine, there
was a shared anxiety
between all three
as her hands began
to separate hair
and hummingbird,
it was an unusual sight,
her hands trembled,
seeking to harm neither
bird nor niece-
the young girl stayed
as still as she could,
soon, her aunt held
the hummingbird,
its wings still, neither
flitting
nor flying, merely sitting,
waiting for the right moment
to take flight once more.
