Thursday Seeds | Stitch Up the Platform

There’s been a storm!

good rain.

Big lights in the form of lightening!

CRACK!

The tree trunk is split.

One half to the ground.

Other half still standing.

Water flows to the hole.

“What do you need down there?”  “Can I help?”  water asks.

[Ominous Silence]

a series of beeps so subtle.

Can you hear them?

What are they saying?

“Can you hear me?” “Do you care?”

In Words call and return fashion.

Water responds: “yes.”

“We need.”  “We need.”  “We need.”

    to                  to                to ….

“Stitch up the platform to save the tree.”

[BACK INTO THE BOG]

Energy boost from the change afflicting water.

Thunder strike charged.

Fungi the bandage.

Binding. Growing. Pulling toward

Each tree root tendril

Another energy boost

Growth spurt that could be seen

By the naked human eye

If they were watching

Bind another. Stitch and clip.

Grow.

Stitch and clip.

Stitch and clip.

Stitch & clip.

Stitch + clip.

Platform restored.

Test the binding.

Solid.

Let the rest rot.
