Hummingbird Boy

I want to press your kisses between the pages of a book Like dried flowers from a June day Your lips flutter over my cheeks, my nose the throbbing valley of my throat And I'm convinced you must be a hummingbird Each kiss feels like a bouquet You must have drank from the foxglove and yarrow before you flew to me Your heart stutters under my palm Throbbing fast and full of sweetness Tell me Do you understand how delightful you are? Come Drink the sugar water from my garden The cottage is always a little sunnier with you around.
