what lies underfoot

there is so much we don't
see.
what lies underfoot,

under stones,
beneath the wooden porch,

the steps,
the cellar, where webs
are woven.

where mushrooms grow
in the black dirt.
so much

life behind the scenes.
the insects

crawling, flying, burrowing
themselves,
their seed.

so many secrets left
unturned, unseen, 

not to mention
the ones unspoken

between you,
and me.
