A Mark Upon the Heart: A Response to Billybuc's Challenge
vaults keep
hearts hidden
within the crust
of earth's soft layer, unbidden
stories form
rubbing against bark
in fragile susurration
suspended
over years
reminding the trees
that once they were not alone.

Once again, BillyBuc challenges us to write to the picture above. As my pieces are always so short, I cannot have an outgoing link here, so you will have to find BillyBuc's challenge and other's responses without a kink from me--I am so sorry about that.
