lyrics

“For the Mayans, hummingbirds were the sun in disguise, constantly attempting to seduce the moon.”
- Birds: Myth Lore and Legend

she slips into bed
waits until the sky is dark
then she slips out again
covers her moon-pale skin with feathers
bright like christmas foil

up she darts on beating wings
silver green against the stars
flashes her lovely slenderness
across his crescent smile
but he is not moved
he is not moved
he is not moved, so she darts away

she slips into bed
as the sun begins to rise
then she slips out again
lets the feathers fall away and
up she rises too.
