shadows form veins across the earth

stretch outwards          expand	           dissipate

into soft permeable spectres

a colourless friend reflected

hopeful

one day you will shed a branch

or leaf

watch it fall and meet at the intersection of your feet
a mycelial network sits

substrate beneath the city

like a hivemind of live-wired trains

speak hunger

transmit food
fungi plug themselves into the network

of delicate lacework

and symbiotic aunts
