Mushin’ Around: Winter is Here - a photo on Flickriver

            Though this episode begins in a more traditional non fiction way, with many facts about how many mushrooms perish when the snow falls and temperatures plummet, the episode evolves further with a more empathetic feel.  Even a mushroom documentary film maker must show the human side to the mushrooms and how they can suffer.  Thus, there is a definite arc to the episode with a thrilling culmination of the collective voices of the mushroom community as they proclaim the following poem:

For days, we witnessed the ominous
“Winter is Coming!"
Well, winter is here, with it’s equal
wonder and terror
We cling to each other 
like words in a sentence
without as many spaces.

We are withered, weathered, 
and struggling to survive.
Lost souls shivering below flying doves
Past selves and Future selves 
Culminating in a grim present moment
How much longer must we suffer and 
Yearn for each sliver of daylight?


Oh, won’t some sweet soul
Come gallantly along
Crunching on the oppressive white 
Pick us up out of our misery
Tear us from the dark tree bark
With all the dirt that hides under fingernails
And eat us alive?
