Among the Grass

Among the grasses and shrub

Some sure part of me is veiled

Just as the wild animals 

Wait and watch in dappled light

The wind and treelines occlude

Detection from those 

Who would extrude or presume

To know our identities

There among the grass and rush*

To weed and thin is like

Destroying a part of me; a sin.

-Kelly Voelker

*rush any of several flowering plants distinguished by cylindrical stalks or hollow, stemlike leaves.
