#NewThisDay Writing From My Photo Stream
Look, this mushroom under a tent of needles and hummus excites you
like the push of any poem sneaks up/pops out from unconscious depths
the thrill, a secret almost revealed, the tug to solve me quick and now
solve this state of captive impatience, do something, force a revelation
you kneel and peep through the little door, a white stemmed poem is coming
your impulse, this tempting, your hands, you must restrain your
reaching to remove its cover, too soon, too soon - your rush to reveal
what is meant to be covered, in its tent, its uncertainty intact
even though you fear the truth, its beauty, might be doomed
to vanish before it is beheld, you must believe
you cannot make a mushroom happen
