A/N: Written for the
Diversity Writing Challenge, i43 - write in the poetry genre (is one of four collections for this prompt, but they're otherwise not connected with each other)
Digimon Battle Spirit - the challenge, Sukamon vs. Terriermon Strike 4. Prompts are the chapter titles, just to make things easier (since I'm only using one prompt per poem this time).
Sprouting Seeds
1: protect
She's the moon dust that falls
like powder snow, and is brushed aside
and tucked into corners, and turned
coal black until it's just dust
to be swept back up
on vacuum days
But the dust keeps the secrets
of the dark: the shadows cast
on the walls, the sparkling gem
that slumbers beneath the dust.
And the dust will cling to her,
hide her, protect her
until the wind blows by
and it's her turn
to shine.
