Jujubes bob above the surface
Rust red suns on a liquid horizon
Thin, translucent crowns around mushrooms
Glistening brown caps
Fungal crowns
Fibrous, rotating rays reminiscent
Of an umbrella’s underside
Its handle is a curved, creamy stem
Shiitake Saturns with greasy rings
A galaxy of oil
Ashy skin and fair meat
Pale bones
Suspended in a silver half-moon bowl
About the Creator

I'm a mad scientist - I mean, film critic and aspiring author who enjoys experimenting with multiple genres. If a vial of villains, a pinch of psychology, and a sprinkle of social commentary sound like your cup of tea, give me a shot.
