The Hummingbirds Have Flown to Mexico

The hummingbirds have flown to Mexico
Above the dark malevolence of man:
No border patrols, no criminal gangs
No wire, no walls, no displaced persons’ camps

The hummingbirds have flown to Mexico
To celebrate bright Navidad and be
Pequeno flores de Nochebuena
For the delight of our dear Infant Lord

The hummingbirds have flown to Mexico
On pilgrimage, for God will have it so

How small and light they are, leaving us below them and behind. Much to think about.
