The second of my collections of poems written for "Express It In Eight."
As usual these days, I choose blog format because it offers more space for the work.

A fungus resembling a face.


Sporophore

He was a fun guy of the Fungi family,
with kin of micelial connections
stretching far under soil and the past.

Though serious of face and demeanour
his humour would mushroom at times,
inspired with the wisdom of age.

Out here in the shadows of forest
he communed with his ancestors alone.
