Go Go Boots

“This little humingbird is call the Booted Racket-tail…. very fierce with other hummers (who, I am sure, lust after his boots!) but only the size of my index finger.”

Many birds and the beating of wings
Make a flinging reckless hum
In the early morning at the rocks
Above the blue pool
Where the gray shadows swim lazy.

In your blue eyes, O reckless child,
I saw today many little wild wishes,
Eager as the great morning.

Carl Sandburg
