Hiddenness

When our town overflows with tourists

cavorting along snow-packed trails,

a neighbor playfully texts,

Are you hiding?

Not in the way she assumes.

Daydreaming of moist underground dens

where wild mothers burrow alone

to birth naked cubs,

I wait inside bedroom walls

that often welcome the northern lights

as strangely glowing poems

begin to emerge from roots of stillness.
