Moss holds the slope together.

Mushrooms rise, then vanish.

Water remembers both.

Tall mushrooms rise up—

moss blankets the fallen log,

a forest whispers.

Mushroom Coming Out Of The Dark — Image by kenne

Coming out at night

Out of thought and nothingness

Darkness, death, decay.

The Mushroom is the Elf of Plants

 

The Mushroom is the Elf of Plants –
At Evening, it is not
At Morning, in a Truffled Hut
It stop opon a Spot

As if it tarried always
And yet it’s whole Career
Is shorter than a Snake’s Delay –
And fleeter than a Tare –

’Tis Vegetation’s Juggler –
The Germ of Alibi –
Doth like a Bubble antedate
And like a Bubble, hie –

I feel as if the Grass was pleased
To have it intermit –
This surreptitious Scion
Of Summer’s circumspect.

Had Nature any supple Face
Or could she one contemn –
Had Nature an Apostate –
That Mushroom – it is Him!

— Emily Dickinson

The Mushroom is the Elf of Plants – (1350)

The Mushroom is the Elf of Plants –
At Evening, it is not
At Morning, in a Truffled Hut
It stop opon a Spot

As if it tarried always
And yet it’s whole Career
Is shorter than a Snake’s Delay –
And fleeter than a Tare –

’Tis Vegetation’s Juggler –
The Germ of Alibi –

And like a Bubble, hie –

The truth knocks on the door,

and you say,

Go away, I’m looking for the truth,

and so it goes away.

Puzzling.

Where do I begin and end in space?
I have relations to the sun and air, 
which are just as vital
parts of my existence as my heart.

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.

— from “Do not go gentle into that good night” by Dylan Thomas

Mount Lemmon Mushrooms
Appear from out of nowhere
Pushing aside leaves —

Sometimes on decaying logs
Sometimes on the sides of trees.
