Ruby-throat
Vrroommm….
Nearby air trembles like a drum.
Diaphanous wings beat with dazzling speed.
A greenish bird the size of my thumb.
Flits up and tweets,
hoovers,
and tweets again.
Zips down,
and zooms to the reddish tube,
impales the center dot in the plastic yellow flower,
and sucks a sweet shot to keep its power.
