1.
From the mist The aerophyte drinks Trichomes gathering strength For a single monocarpic triumph Angiosperm Bromeliaceae Anchored in the sky Behind swirling clouds A Gothic fortress of moss From its lichen parapets beat Leathery minion wings By blind eyes they fly On the strength of stormwinds Tillandsia’s legacy they carry Allied to oak In cypress it confides Within its mossy bastions Aside arachnid swarms Ophidian phalanx awaits Impregnable fortress Tillandsia
2.
Adventitious roots From its stems elongate Digging deeper, taking hold Provenances random grip in depth Through the soil below Profoundly to the underworld Anchoring the spread of the flowering mass above The mass Symbolic of the growing green The green that will overtake the world Asterales Spherical leaves overflowing Wave upon wave of stringed beads Jewels of wintry white In wafting cascades
3.
Perennial evergreen Scrambling spiderwort Elongated leaves glaucous Cut to shreds, it rises again Birthing three-petaled spawn Spreading, running invasive Rampant holy plague Erasing all sign of civilization Covering its traces Filtering out the vileness Their impurities from the air Phytoremediation
