one morning


On this
six hundred billionth day,
the sun burns off

the fog by ten,
and thirty golden
honey bees

suck nectar from a riot
of aeoniums
smothering the stony bank.

A lone
ruby-throated
hummingbird sips

the yellow bursting blooms
that bedeck the thirsting aged
prickly pear

that grapples with
the fractured chert
chiseled in the hillside cut.
