Hidden (Day 984)

Beneath a mantle 

of words, my poem hides, 

evading me. 

No chisel at hand, I scrape, 

with my pen, at the surface 

of a page, bare 

fingers clawing at gravel, 

dislodging lumps of stone, 

revealing, piece by piece, 

what I have not 

imagined, until it appears 

fully formed, before me.
