NICOLA BOWERY



Invocation, 'as lichen'

as lichen
embroiders the face of granite

as lichen
seduces the fallen log

as lichen
rings the stem of the rose

as lichen
caresses the knot in the bark

as lichen
paints the fence-post orange

as lichen
flowers boldly in the mist

so we are married to this ground
