small pruned branch
with fungi cap

hang their hats
on the birch

replicates
the tree’s rings of life

from the nourishing earth
a village
of tiny homes

the ground grew
a space station ready
to launch spores into flight
Emergence
the forest
ever birthing
new life
Golden Goblet
for the fairies banquet
fresh rain water served
with a leaf stem straw
Storing Knowledge
Call Of Attention
Cousins
Wearing Rings Like Saturn
