Ode to the Mushroom
You link three worlds - yesterday
with tomorrow, and briefly today...
Dr Abe V Rotor
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.~
