Hidden
Naomi Shihab Nye

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.

Lookie who this is

Hmmm, interesting reading throughout the whole journal, but not enough about me...
... but then, I always did demand too much attention!
I wish I was there.
love always!
