…The story of a hummingbird rescuing a flower from a summer snow was created in a few days after a hail like snow crushed all our flowers in the garden. As one hummingbird was still circling around the most beautiful blossom, I immediately ran to my studio and grabbed my brush to play with my paints…

The Summer Snow

Clouds move for miles
as I draw on them
with leftover grass
By the pond again I will sit
and wait for someone to pet me

Diving face down
off the cloud
and leaving each inch of white
I smell the aspen stumps
behind the shedding birth trees

Jumping from one air atom to another
and seeing myself
on top of myself
I breathe a different breath
I have never smelled before

Flipping over the earth pages
I go round and around
and it takes me forever
to find the white
in any other color

While the wind makes me breathe
I am like a flashlight in the light day
flashing the blankets
all tangled up into a braid
draped over fences

When I hum there now by the pond
rescuing the blossoms from the summer snow
I release a droplet of lukewarm water
stuck on my eyelids
Suddenly I feel someone petting me.
