The Coprinus Comatus Gigantus & Hericium Erinaceous Tree Rain Forest

On a distant

Earth-like world.

Giants release their pollen spores,

High upon a spring-morn breeze…

Some elegantly  fan out,

To absorb  as much sunlight as required.

Some gracefully droop like icicle parasols on stilts…

Either way their pollen flies far and wide

Across the landscape of their ancestors and

Contemporaries.

Giving new life to the forest

And beyond…

The living lungs,

For a global breath of

Life-giving air…

More precious

Than gold…
