Sphagnum Moss
A labyrinthine network
Of Life
In a matrix of death
A close interdependence
Of One with the Other
Fills Like a Sponge
With Water
Or Blood
Cushioning
Soothing
Healing
Filtering
Raising Ground out of Water
For others to root in
Building on the Backs
Of past endeavours
Death Feeds Life
In a succession
Of amplifying Diversity
But a distanced humanity
Walled Into Itself
Feeds Death With Life
