feeding hummingbirds

are the hummingbirds still around?
I feel guilty
have not refreshed their feeder in ten days
are they lingering near, hoping I will remember?
Have I killed them?
will they ever come back?
it is mid October
but unusually warm at seventy-four degrees.
I decide to replenish their food
feeling better now
