Hummingbirds in July

I never tire of
the thrill and mystique of a 
hummingbird sighting.

At the hosta blooms,
pentas, echinacea, or
the blue Russian sage.

Today one perched on
a hosta stem for a rest.
Its tiny black feet,

like delicate wires,
curled around the tender stalk.
The stalk didn't bend.
