HIDDEN

If you place a fern
under a stone
the next day it will be
nearly invisible
as if the stone has
swallowed it.

If you tuck the name of a loved one
under your tongue too long
without speaking it
it becomes blood
sigh
the little sucked-in breath of air
hiding everywhere
beneath your words.

No one sees
the fuel that feeds you.

idea


I made this sometime ago, it was an idea which nourished into a bigger one later on, still on it, it isn't a finished comp by any means, but wanted to put it out, too heavy for my computer.
The background is a picture I've found on flickr. Can't find it again.
