Lime green the rufus
hummingbird that hovers
sucking the cobalt blue
spikes of the sage
for all that they appear
black on the page
how pale these words
next to the living colors
that npw have settled
in the well of memory
closing my eyes I still can see
the bright bird feeding
on the dark blue flowers
the image lingers
of a moment past
now stored for the mind's eye
as long
as memory will last
