Prose-poetry in microbial processes

The cane which was meticulously harvested
by João Marianelli from Nicaragua,
in the vast fields of an hitherto unknown town,

where the hero(ine) of our drama

Closing ones borders and other such things…

IMG_0893

I shall always wonder.
Often nature is attributed
To a random process.
Yet, it functions.
As though it has a heart
