We returned from a day in New Hope with friends to discover that the trumpetvine my father had planted for me years ago, after my mother passed away, had finally twisted away from the house and fallen still. This was my hummingbird bush, the cover I took on summer days. This was the heart of my memoir,
Nest. Flight. Sky. This was where the world could not find me. The world couldn't. The birds did.
The bush wrenched away from itself, urged by either wind or squirrel.
It was depleted, and I understand, for I am depleted, too. Too much of too much and so much more to go, and this must be how my trumpetvine felt—it had survived enough storms. It can give cover no more.
But how I will miss my hummingbirds.
