Hiding or Hidden?
I sit and stare and start to see tiny black bugs stuck in a spider's web. The web hangs in a tree against a backdrop of flowers and the sky beyond. Sticky fibers catch and entangle. Soon the bugs will be mummified in a silky coffin. No movement to suggest a struggle. Halo of green glows boldly and flowers hang in leafy space. Border of gray. Flat and deep all at once. There will be only a moment of fear before the hugs get swallowed up.
I shift positions. Wait. I'm not sure of what I saw before. Now there are odd shaped ladders forming something like an octagon. It's encircled by static. Parallel rungs move toward the center where there are small black diamonds hiding among other colorful gems of citrus and emerald and nightfall blue. What are the rough gray shapes? I don't remember what I thought they were before. I turn my head to the side. It looks like a spikey balloon trapped inside a cloud. What does it mean now?

Liberty
Liberty can
endure.
Created portion
of this brave place,
Devotion
struggled, living on full cause.
New world, what
for those the years
Gave war.
We who dedicated
the great cause remember all.
These men who
fought on
Concecrated
ground, our new continent,
Little can
conceive in freedom.
People cannot all
sense.
Living honored
and civil,
For far over
final fields altogether created
Birth of advanced
fathers.
Process: Assigned numeral digits to colors, and used words
from the Gettysburg address to rewrite the number pi.
