What Is Left Out

Would it surprise you to know all elements of reverie?

Tools for patience and missteps?

When you fill spaces until the right thing happens,

harmonies of brown and gray, in sunlight,

cloud cover, rain? Humans emit vibrations

as the elm and maple trees, the wind, find stillness.

How often have you wondered which one,

what is as important as what is left out?

(an erasure from The Ekphrastic Writer by Janée J. Baugher)
