Atop A Windowsill
She is a hummingbird
 And she lifts her wings 
 She takes the nectar
 That absorbs her stings
 She holds it tight
 Oh how she clings
 To this essence
 That gives her wings
 
 She is a bumblebee
 That buzzes around
 One thing to the next
 Barely touching the ground
 She floats back and forth
 Intrigued by sounds
 That seep into her head
 And make her buzz around
 
 She is a mouse
 Scurrying on the floor
 Crawling as far as she can
 To a figmented door
 She takes one more nibble
 She says only one more
 Just one more bite
 That strands her to the floor
 
 She is a fox
 Scavenging what she can
 Hiding away
 From what she holds in her hand
 She sees what’s not there
 Things that are banned
 To the normal eyes
 That don’t scavenge what they can
 
 She is a girl
 Atop a windowsill
 Not a bird, mouse or fox
 Just a girl with no will
 She has nothing more
 No more mind to kill
 Animals no more
 Atop a windowsill
