Lurking in the natural world
there are sentences, still unspoken
always waiting to be written
frozen in time
waiting for the great warmth 
of a curious heart

Haunting at the edges of the living world
are spirits of the unspoken connectivity in people
dead and alive, the as-yet unborn
caught between planes

of a curious heart

There is an untapped seem ...

Doe-eyed woodland artistry glows
oh, how you hide your face away

They dwell in strange rooms
the murky recesses of affordability
barely buildings, bedrooms with sinks
chair pushed up against the door
flakes of lives flung everywhere
A curtain, a quilt - who can really say?

A bare bulb hangs in an open window

Still lives go on; the rudimentary,
ramshackle, clutching at homeliness
the need for shelter unites us all
