I don't write poems. I just repeat what the water tells me. I keep secrets the rocks whisper. Laugh at bird jokes. Listen when the night air carries a song from the stars. Thank the grasshoppers for their greetings. Let my hands read the stories the soil has held for so long. Try to pass them to you. But no, definitely no poems have ever been written by me. Why would you think that? -- LK Nesse

The plants do not blame me.

Written in cursive using blue ink on a blank white page in a book. Conversation Chit-chat. You keep it safe. Only small, obvious things. "Did you hear...?" No, but you'll tell me. Tell me something that won't waste both of our time and energy. Share your favorite secrets. Secrets are personal treasures. Not the rumors you whisper to any who will listen. Listen to your own heart, and tell me what it says when you don't choose to be safe and boring. Boring isn't my style. Let yourself take the risk. I'll show you my heart if you show me yours.
