Desire.

Two hummingbirds
plumed gray..partly embraced by city soot
sit on wire in abeyance above my pretty head.

Apparently phlegmatic yet fleeting..birds
Frazzled ends of electricity wire gleaming in sun
Each in their own way like desire lumping at base of my throat.
Unfettered
Eccentric
Tender

I wish you were here..
I wish you were here...
I wish you were here....

pairing through all joys and al travails~ you created a painting here that lingers etched in the fied of vision even as I write this~ what moving imagery~ the care you put into this is pure and deeply touching~

you seem to be seeing more and more the beauty in life, those little details Frazzled ends of electricity wire gleaming in sun
that you spell out so poetically and that add to the rich and emotional imagery...

I smiled at the thought of these birds, holding onto their style despite the frazzled wire and the soot...

... a fitting image for those softest of feelings that sometimes engulf us, despite it all...
