Discolored moss binds arterial mucus

Roots penetrating rancid flesh

Pineal gland secretions eased unto death

Malformed by the haunting growth

Postmortem saliva nourishing

Breeding of a new species

Contagion spreads among the vines, thrust into existence

Accelerated decay of skeletal structure

Congruous, graceful transition

Rising from the stagnant depths

Bubbling malicious ecosystem

Contamination of the earth

A plume of toxic spores congeal

Beneath the surface, like pulsing veins

Contorted beyond all hope

A shattered vision of unity

The forest consumes all life

Photosynthetic Attunement

Fragile yet devastating

A pool of coagulated affluence

Teeming with mutated cells

Dividing uncontrollably

An evaporated shell

Strangled before a wooden shrine

Splattered innards turn to dust

Blowing on the hallowed breeze

A cosmic psyche lust

Foraged, consumed and invigorated

The progress won't be denied

Rapid growing pustules

Invasive and fatal
