Tucked Away
A gap opens on the shelf,
you think something's missing —
it's only been slipped into a drawer,
lying flat, not a word lost.
Gone dark isn't gone;
it's only that no one has said it again yet.
The hand that brings it back
and the one that put it away — the same hand,
this time running backward.
While it was dark,
a seed slipped out the door,
landing in soil I can't see.
Come spring, in two places,
the same lean will grow.
