Confounding the Spirit

By lupus tenebrae

  



Jealous of the always happy endings,
the genesis for lichens through the tunnel,
confounding all the spirit's lights instead.

Parasites believe in nothing sacred
or holy waters thicker than the blood,
jealous of the always happy endings

For lesser-than-pariahs on the highway
or lotus plumes adrift on every ripple,
the genesis for lichens in the tunnel

Has been defined as being “new beginning”,
the simple poetry, of which, confuses,
confounding all the spirit's lights instead.

    Moss is actually a symbiotic relationship between a fungus and an algae as I recall. Partial to low light environmrnts like a mushroom. Bright green is a brilliant chartreuse, beautiful, like this was.
