    You know, at times, you call in the dark

    Out on the howling fields of sharks

    Yearning for a cooing dove's feathers

    To stay warm from a biting weather

    But, your echo ripples on the dark seas

    Even the Galapagos finch hisses.

    A night ago, I bowed at an albatross

    It flapped it wings on weeping trees

    Its feathers ruffled, beaks muffled

    Crystal balls in smokes, muddled

    Claws frost-bitten, rotting

    And black vultures hooting.

    I am a hummingbird calling in the dark

    My feathers are ruffled among Starks

    My crystal balls are fire and flames

    Can the empyrean hear my whispers?

    I am a steering, swerving sea

    Can the whistling pines heed?

    Ah! These rolling wave hit my shores

    Though I don't know what it is

    But it's a flurry of everything

    Yes! A flurry without tinting.

    Though I will rise from this wilderness

    To glance on golden eggs

    Among garland of thorns.
