Shells

Natural.  As in edamame.   Communal as in living.  Petite parcels of vegetal.
Reminds me of language.  A word is rarely singular.  Communal & circular.  Almost always vegetal.   

Consider, the ear as shell.   Yes, communal, rarely singular & often offers up parcels to the vegetal.

  1. Shells of the future, shells from the past. Enclosures which hold onto, or let go, of their treasure. It seemed the logical progression from the wall by the sea to the sand by the sea, so we left the wall and walked along the sand, looking at shells. She remembered her poem about souls being like shells, floating just under the water's surface, empty or full, always in motion, in and out of the light.
