Small Reveals

“Small Reveals” is part of a series revealing the life of Rapunzel.
She was more than hair and singing from a tower window.
Come, read how she untangled her life and found meaning in her isolation.

Small Reveals

Eye-shaped apple seed
Wind-whispered birch leaf

Sun-polished beetle back
Shadow-tinted dove feather

Sun-stained mouse bone

Ghost-stitched spider thread
Angel-dropped dust mote

I plead to each

Their secrets of entry to guide me
Out of this locked room


by Colleen Anderson
