Beating wings thrum
Hummingbird tongue
Slender needle
Sipping nectar
Simply nourishing
Watching with wonder
Senses soothed
Spirit renewed
Image clings
When disquiet rings
Solace sought again
Where do I begin
With beating wings
Nourishing
Watching with wonder
Hummingbird tongues

Born in Iowa, I now live in Seattle. My parents met in South Dakota. During the Great Depression and the Dust Bowl many families left. My great uncle made his way west in 1939 with some of his hometown friends. Their destination was Anacortes, Washington, where they'd landed jobs building a log mill. My great uncle continued to Seattle, for a time living in the Greenlake neighborhood with a family from that same hometown.
