Hidden Bloom Unraveling
Written: August 19, 2025 for contest sponsored by John Anderson,
***********
through the slack of spring
where orchids shivered, we met—
your hand brushed my sleeve
and the wind forgot its name
just to listen to our hush
I kept you folded
within a dusk-colored thought—
years passed like soft rain
and still, I never told them
how you lit my shadowed rooms
I speak your name, now
and the sky does not shudder
only the sparrows
pause mid-flight, as if they knew
what I had buried in bloom<'center>
