		<description> too weak to stand

grandfather gazes

through the dirty glass of the window

at the sugar-water feeder

where the hummingbird hovers



the beauty is overwhelming

and every second jots itself into his mind

like a love letter



the flash of red as the little bird disappears

reminds him of his beloved

her lips were so red as that

years ago, before she fell asleep. </description>

last night, outside my window

I was scared.&quot;



&quot;It's ok to be scared boy, it's ok,

but the bear's scared too

winter's coming and he doesn't have enough food.&quot;



&quot;Should I leave him some?&quot;



The grandfather's laugh turned into a hacking cough

filled with the word, &quot;No...nononnono&quot;



When he settled into his chair,

&quot;No boy, that'd be a bad

bad... bad idea.&quot;

&quot;Someday you'll leave here

and who will feed him then?&quot;

&quot;Me too. Me too.&quot;  ... more  </description>
