Ode to the Stinkhorn Mushroom

Ode to the Mushroom

You link three worlds - yesterday

with tomorrow, and briefly today...

Stinkhorn mushroom (Phallus impudicus), Family Phallales

Youth and death, pleasure and sorrow,

One comes to this world after you;

Who and when we will never know,

In your domain where you grow.

You cover all, like grass in Auschwitz,

In fuzzy web, transforming into rich

Mass when the sky rolls in dreadful pitch,

Waking Lazarus as Zeus speaks -

In another body, time and space,

Where new life begins in a new place;

You are the link, and Nature the pace,

Of all life, ordered in seeming maze.

You link three worlds - yesterday

With tomorrow, and briefly today,

In our work, sleep - even as we play -

The world wakes up to a new day.~
