hide and seek
---------------------------------------------


hidden
must be for a good reason
must be bad
don't look
don't
dig
leave it be

a shadow which
lingers and gathers and grows
fear flourishing alongside
till
danger danger
stepping here and there
on eggshell duty
on alert

energy expended on ephemera

in reality
in the sunlight
shadows flit away
the eggs are unbroken
revealing hard boiled good solid nourishment
full of light and life
like me and
you

who knew?
