On a hummingbird's ala, memories ascend.
Life intertwined with death.
I embrace you when I hold our children.
You join us in a flutter of wings.

this poem is lovely. on the first read, i was undeterminded as to whether or not the title or length were a hindrance. by my third or fourth read i found myself wanting more, because there is a very intimate quality to it, as if i were reading someone's journal entry. succint but feeling. thank you for sharing this piece.
