an ode to lichen
something older, something brighter than we
so easily missed under feet and wheels and tyres
but you persist
and in your coupling you show your resilience
in your coupling you show us
that it's the friendship we offer which is shallow
because in each other you find survival
two organisms, co-evolved to live and share
in your coupling you show us
who are we to intervene?
to mycobiont and cyanobacterium
in your coupling is love
