Fungi

Playing host,

a tree, in monolithic silence,

shelters the fungi

which clings like a bat

on its sanctuary trunk.

Who else notices

this quiet nursery

as they pass by on woodland path;

seeing only the shadows

of scampering squirrels

and hearing alarmed birds

replicating Dunkirk.

I will watch you grow

and wait for the nuclear day

when you erupt your spawn

and dust the breeze

with progeny.
