We put hummingbird stickers on our windows
To keep the birds from flying into them.
Yesterday this little guy perched on the fence
Five feet from one of those windows
And stared steadily at the sticker
For some ten minutes.
Perhaps because my mother would
Have turned 100 this month
(She died a quarter century ago)
I wondered if he might be missing his mom…
Projection: it’s not just for movies.
