Took this photo of the underside of a polypore fungus hurriedly and without looking and it turned out the best of all the photos I shot yesterday whilst wandering around the mountain. The one-line ku came to me later, and I only thought to pair them this morning.
I live in an Appalachian hollow in the Juniata watershed of central Pennsylvania, and spend a great deal of time walking in the woods. My books of poetry include FAILED STATE: HAIBUN, ICE MOUNTAIN: AN ELEGY, BREAKDOWN: BANJO POEMS, and ODES TO TOOLS.
