The story fell
Like large camels from her tongue

Smoke snaked around 
And into
Our hair 
And while I hugged her 
She shook 

It is a hard thing to be swept up by a man 
To be willing to change your shape to make him more yours

This man
raw and violent
Soft and destroyed 
All in the same room
The smell of his alcohol 
His hands 
Bringing back all of the memories 
That took her childhood and broke her into the hummingbird 
We know her to be 

__a hummingbird is dainty but no one knows she can put a mountain in a sea if she put her mind to it
