Mushrooms

Али Оша
How do we get connected?
With a simple touch.
Or by gentle handshake -
You don’t need that much.

We are lucid spores of different cultures,
Thrown in the wind to survive on different structures.
Yet, our hyphae interact underground
Invisible to untrained or naked eye,
Fairy ring will grow all around.
We hold each other’s hand to be more stable
And question all the things that come with a label.

Connections of cosmic level
Might not seem to be very fragile or brittle.
Although, if not being careful
Might snap without ability to play a little.

Reaping so much hidden energy,
From something that might give others allergy.
Regularly ignored because of people’s heresy,
We are extremely important for the cognizant clerisy.
