A new day a new haiku
Through discarded leaves
I thread my long white stitches
To feed upon death
Temptingly tasty
Bright and shiny like candy
Deceitful, deadly
Even in the dark
Life carries on all around
Watch from the sidelines
Furled fungi unfold
Alchemy simple and old
Turns life into mould
I’ve got my wires crossed
Tangled in the deep dark ground
Feeding on decay
Decomposition
Changing death into new life
And from life comes hope
While we were rushing
We missed the plot twists and turns
Let’s take the slow ways
Mushrooms cast a spell
But the real magic happens
Underneath the ground
Here I sought shelter
Blissfully ignorant of
Poison in your wings
Nature recycles
Leaves and wood into fungi
Death into beauty
Creepily we crawl
Betwixt decaying leaf mould
Our shells on our backs
Strains of an old tune
Carry me back through the years
I feel just the same
