Working All The Time

Armillaria Mellea

Enter the feeding ground
greeting yellow caps

our host, a meal
of honey upon decay.

You are many
& the same-- creep

devouring this serving
of the woods.

I am here to take
a few of your fingers-- severed

to my skillet
to my satisfaction.

Myco, come with me
your table is vast

the day is falling
& we all need to gorge.

Hey GoodReads! I know I've been out of the loop for a while but I promise, I'm working on getting back in. The problem is work, and more work, and my own work, but at least I'm still working on my poetry when I can! So, I wanted to share the most recent piece that I had constructed a whole image/backdrop for in order to keep up with Instagram and facebook, but.... photobucket now puts watermarks on every image they host unless you give them money and GoodReads doesn't seem to have another way to share picture, at least not a way I've discovered yet.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy my mushroom poem. I wrote it after finding a pretty big one with a co-worker on our way home, and then harvesting enough to feed two people for three days! yum! I won't explain my poem too much, but if you don't know anything about Armillarias, you should look them up! They're very interesting lifeforms.

Take care,
A. Lynn
