leaning from apartment rail
out from dry haven of a slant roof run
my fingers palms cups overflow
and i imagine
tiny fractal mouths all
in a pine tree nearest me
bundles of green frond tips
opening to first arizona rain
later, the afternoon sun appears
shadowed in a cloud break
every water slick
green of pine
casts ornamental silver
and one hummingbird
dodging drops
edges my head
all wonderment
grace a fresh summer's day
