I breathe in and almost taste
The hidden languages around me

The unspoken words are
The most important

I am knowing,
The creative juices are flowing,
And yet

I reach out and touch it
Trace my finger on the banisters
The canisters of dried rice
The old clock face
The dusty piano's keys
Ans when I lift my finger I
Feel the thick, rich...

Mysteries and memories and wannabe's
The farmhouse is coated the thick, syrupy sweet
Remnants of
Lives loved and
Life yet lived
