Conks and other planar groupings,
Grow up suckling, rending coarse
Debris from flora-type relations.
Pores, spores, sundry bits of broken
Fiber, feeding filaments in concert.
Strange, yet absolutely staid, strands slough
For truffle hunters, folks seeking forest food.
Rangers, furthest remote persons, relay
Surveys, knots, first-aid, compasses, and scat,
Fire-starting, cloth-style signaling, maybe
Leadership. Such men avoid all grand mammals
Hungering for outdoor suppers; tasting,
S’mores, corn, coal-baked chops, ‘tater boats,
Bits, pieces, toes, fingers, fleshy parts.
Afterwards, upland dwellers, dying out,
Morph from fear to fright as malls,
Housing, highways, factories, schools,
Displace mating, hunting, itching, gathering.
Then furries without new gene pools grasp
Human nibbles make poor nutrition, taste salty,
Compost, nonetheless, to augment rising fungi.

Makes me hanker for the outdoor bramble I whirled through, the ground I was burly enough to love sleeping with, the lost Marine who volunteered to take the point..I definitely do not miss the itching!
I love where the image led you Channie! It is a wonderful example of the joy of this project.
