lyrics

There is a house on the hill
which flutters with strange sounds,
like psalms being sung
by hummingbirds.

No man or woman
goes in or out,
no post is delivered
to the mailbox.

Sometimes I sense shadows
of songs being sung
from the windows of the house,
but I know these are only tricks.

One day, in the cool, dry air of autumn,
I lessened my pace as I passed by.
Small silhouettes flitted to and fro,
and snatches of music floated atop the breeze.

I walked up the pathway,
to see what I could
of this mysterious and lively
structure.

What I saw was baffling: the house
was not a house at all. Rather,
it was made entirely of birds.
It was a House of Hummingbirds,

where Word and Song combined,
and I could not split them apart…
like an atom that refused to bend
to the will of its tormenters,

or like the perfect symmetry
we wish we all sported.

The forest beyond the hill is quiet.
Now, let us explore.
