In Crevices
by Gail Wolper
in crevices between the rocks,
hide the tiny creatures,
who feed on lichens or
on that which is, to us,
invisible.
when spring rains arrive
the blooms pried open
from the rocks
dense flowers
that blossom like the opening
of a women's skirts
here it is,
here we are
and have always been,
waiting,
laughing at your surprise...
