hum

joshua mckinney

when i smelled green through the blur

where its wings were, felt

the whir of their arc, heard the red

of its ¹ throat-scales, tasted the ² of its forked tongue

afloat in the foxglove -- my only desire was

to tell you.

my weed-work stopped. hands

in earth, i knelt by the garden wall,

and suddenly that world seemed remote.

i called to you, aloud, and the words i spoke

were ³, broken, each one an arbitrary token

of the tiny bird that came to kiss the flowers.

it was then i knew my exile's full extent.

the phenomenon of ⁴ sound is brighter --

sheer ⁵ now there then --

than the hours of thought without flesh. once, to be

at one meant to act, so i have tried to make this

matter.
