"Lit From Within"...

" Lit From Within "

Lit
from within
dropping
seed pods
from gnarly trees

like tips of spongy
tongues peeking
from yellowing teeth

as seen in a series
of empirical complexities
being bathed by an eerie
orbital shimmering

both bulbous and beady
while laddering near
fusions of the weird

as shape-shifting rungs
still climbing up
paint encrusted
fully functional
biggest discoveries

tightly gripped
strong tactility
succinct ambiguity
burrowing deeply
emergent seed leaves...
