In reply to Rachel Barenblat. I should add that I wasn't even thinking of the aptness of another hummingbird observation yesterday morning when I blogged at the Morning Porch. (It would probably be a very bad practice if I started letting expectations of what Luisa might or might not use influence what I wrote about.) But as anyone who's been following her poems at Via Negativa will know, she seems to have a special bond with hummingbirds (though not, I gather, quite as close as her bond with lizards).

Oh, this is gorgeous, Luisa! Happy belated birthday; I’m so glad that you and your poems have become a part of my world.

(Thanks, Dave. :-)

Grand birthday poem, Luisa! Like that quick swerving and mellow fire–makes me think of the “flaming tongues above” from the song.
