Ancient shades of gum
dull sketch on a grey canvas
teeming with new life
Alive
Politically correct
Parties disagree
branch out in opposing sides
works fine for a tree
Frozen
Grand old mother tree
captures nature’s history
rehoming fossils
Scale
Small split on a stump
a crack in the universe
for spiders on gums
Mutual
Two complete life forms
clinging on to each other
we can co-exist
