hi there,
its me,
i'm here.
you came to see me.
and now i peek
from behind my young hands
at you.
still shy i watch,
your smiling eyes,
that dance at my arrivel.
slowly, slowly i smile back.
my hands un-curl, un-fold,
to show the color benieth them.

i was being wierd and passing time by looking up cacti online, it was as i was reading a review to a photo of a claret-cup hedgehog that i wrote this poem. my insparation was the line, "nice! i love how you capture the colors. its like a little head peeking out through barbed wire."
