Expression





Springing up
in the salt-whipped grasses
they come as a shock

rain rolling off
their red wax caps
undaunted

they are pressed out
suddenly into light, statements
easily missed

Others rise straight out of sand
strange and surprising yet
blending with the drift

as if any startle hits only
the sleepwalkers unaware
that wonder is normal here

Expected or not
they free themselves anyway
out of the dark, signalling

threaded roots, a mystery
that must unfold
and have its say
