I led a walk with the Young Naturalists on the Bluff Wilderness Trail about lichen. Lichen is a symbiotic relationship between fungi and algae. We simulated a symbiotic relationship by clasping arms with someone behind our backs and walking for awhile. The young naturalists also identified old man's beard and reindeer lichen on the trail.

Black folds into fog into forest.
An arm shot bare. On her knees
in the sphagnum humming,
plunging knuckles numb.
One day as any other
you find you’re carrying death.
Lilith came long before Eve.
She led her.
She’s back breathing
night with the sleepless
plucking ferns
by the moon
before they unfurl
unshoe the coming horses.

Alessandra Naccarato started a great initiative against Bill 78 in Quebec around poetry. Restricting the right to organize in Canada??!! Where is the Canada we used to be proud of. To go to the poetry website click on related link below. This is one of the two poems that I contributed:
He ordered the trees
and the flowers,
lined up all of the
creatures in
rows, hushed
the forest but
a group of
diaphanous
butterflies began
to emerge. Dozens
then tens of
thousands danced
a red fury,
wings clanging.

There were only two left:
the word and the hand.
The hand could not hold the word
The word could not read the hand.
But a star chattered to them one night.
If you are right, then one of us is not needed.
What if both of us are true?
Then we don’t need to be two.
What if we aren’t really two?
Then one of us is dead.
What if both of us are dead?
Then there is no need for stars.
