Ode to Hummers

When Hummers Leave

“

I hate this moment each September
As I've said before, if you'll remember
A four month stay is much too hasty
When it takes so many to stuff my pastry

”

The leaves change color and fall gradually; the temperature eases into cold. But humming birds are gone in a flash. It appears ours left yesterday. Sigh.

Hummingbird pastries?
