zechariah 4:6

keep teaching me:
wooden plank of suspicion,
ends splintered refracted light
pulled back to swing, to hit
sideways re: my head
not by might but by my heart
so a side swung flies wide
and not by might covers
what might not be otherwise
a hummingbird's pattern of flight
and nectar inflection
green, with blue wings
beats over me to flutter, quickly
and the flower behind her is pink and opening
