Before real scrutiny, I can be mysterious. Before I sever my legs, there are things that go unsaid.
I still blush when I don’t mean to. I am still a creature of habits.
Breathing and breathing, keeping and keeping.
To be this way, it must be encouraged. And people must like it.

In my distance, I see corn stalks. When they chattered, I could have sworn I heard breathing.

Catching tadpoles
is a character study.
I catch tadpoles and give them a new home in my hands.
But they suffocate,
so I put them back. The tadpoles cry for freedom with dull bodies.
And I never say anything, interruption breeds dislike.
