There is no need
to rake
the brown corpses of leaves
from your winter grass
or cut away
the pale bleached skeletons
of summer flowers
from your garden
once the pulse of life has fled them.
Beneath those slow-vanishing heaps
and within those bleaching, drying stalks
pollinators dream away
the chill and harsh winds of winter
or pupate
snugly tucked away into new becoming.
And the stuff that *was* life
leaches from those fading piles and natomies
into the sleeping chill
of the winter earth
as they cover it;
and amidst the continuous chemical threads
of the mycelium networks endless communication
germinates a new note in that great slow symphony
ready to burst forth
into the glad new notes
of spring’s green.

Decomposition-
Deer skull surrounded by baby’s breath, flanked by Siberian irises. On the top is a bumblebee millipede, and then some decomposing beetles on the bottom (left to right: American carrion beetle, gold-necked carrion beetle, and varied carpet beetle).
The flowers are there cause they’re pretty, but the bugs are there because they do an invaluable job of breaking matter down (powerful)

Learning about the fungi that grow in our forests and how it impacts the overall health of the ecosystem 🌳 Spore prints are like fingerprints. Learning to identify and collect spore prints in case I come across anything edible. Unfortunately no books out about fungi in Haiti so I get to learn the “fun” way 🍄 #growninhaiti #fungi #mycology #mushrooms #decomposers #soilhealth #ecosystem #biodiversity #haiti #ayiti #regenerativeagriculture #education #learn https://www.instagram.com/p/CfeBNSqORe2/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
