Days passed as centuries beneath forgotten stones
Where pill bugs burrowed fertility into clay
As epixylic flies, springtails , & woodlice
Pursued unabated fungivorous delight
From mineral streaming watermarks traced
By decay destined shoots & sprigs awaiting feeted midguts
Yet to ensnare centipede eyes or spider chelicerae.
Hushed chittering belied the quiet harmony
In which colonies collect & fulfill an unpromised tomorrow.
