The distance not too far

(Pre-Script: This poem should be read as the song, "Closer," #6 on the playlist, plays in the background. Go down to the playlist, click on that song, then come back and resume reading. I'll wait...)(...still waiting...)

The distance not too far
looked something like
a hummingbird that hovered
so close you thought you could touch
it if only it would not cause the
perfection of the moment to
crack and shatter-
and then swift, she was gone,
that jittery perfection,
and it made you wonder
if you'd ever seen beautiful like that,
if you'd ever seen green.
and it made you wonder
about shivering and nesting,
about unseen wings that never stop,
but hover like it's effortless-
made you wonder
if you'd ever see it again-

-XOXO,
