There are beautiful things that stand
out on the deep green mosses
they inhabit—They poke their heads
up like miniature umbrellas
after rain, eager for another taste of
moonlight but wary of revealing
too much of their hearts. It is no small
feat to live beneath notice of the sun
with a desire you are always being told
exceeds your ability to contain.
But you cannot find it in you to tamp
the orange flames which risk
sending their voices above the damp
earth, their tiny messages in braille. | | | |
