yi-ching lin photography 
6:53 a.m., an early
bird attempts to break up
the droning of cicadas,
poking small holes into
morning’s purposeless
play –
6:57 a.m., the school
bus roars by, picking
up the pieces –
we are awake,
listening,
unlistening
.

Yi-Ching,
Neat photo. How did you get that?
hi, John – hope that all’s well with you and your family. i stood by the window, inside the house, and shot it with my Canon 5D Mark III, with a 70-300mm lens. the hummingbird paused for a split second.
