Your heart beats so fast -
the air trembles past,
you're in through the trees
when I call your name
you're nowhere to be seen,
you make hurricanes;
you remind me of
the humming birds in Spring
near lonely lakes;
your heart beats so fast
and you're like

the birds
the birds
the humming birds

When you're near:
a buzzing in my ears,
a flash of violent colour
and you're back under
your camouflage,
you make yourself so small,
nowhere to be seen;
you make hurricanes
just so like

the birds
the birds
the humming birds

I could cradle your tiny beating heart in my hands
I know you're not perfect
but those aren't my demands.
I know how fast it beats,
I hear how fast it beats,
you make hurricanes;
you're my humming bird
and I love

the birds.
