Just a mushroom in the sun
Never allowed to spread
But that’s ok
I nearly got the best
Thick root
Steady ground
Your shadow
Brought me cautiously forward
Just a mushroom in the late morning rain
Sweet-scented but hidden deep
Smart, unpronounced, unspoken
Occasionally indirectly praised
So, what else would you want?
Engorgement upon a desert oasis
Dragging out emotion like refuse
Take the shade and be of use
In the forest, Autumn winds barely clear the leaves
I want to be a mushroom in the shade
Protected and cool
In the finest everglade
