the hummingbird's secret would be revealed

If you could contain it, 
the flowers of birth 
would not exist. 
 
If you could hold it, 
the hummingbird's 
secret would be revealed. 
 
If you could rub it, 
the white tiger would 
pace forever in its cage. 
 
If you could name it, 
the thorn breast would 
open to spill its milk. 
 
If you could steal it, 
renaming the earth would 
be the act of a newborn child. 
 
[Ray Gonzalez {1952- } 'figurine', from Feel Puma]
