buried in green

With thanks to tamnonlinear for the final line...

we think it
permanence
when we create it
pave it
build it
and it all comes crashing down
with a single seed

a shoot of green
rising
writhing
tendrils wrapping
rooted teeth chewing
spitting it out
hiding the evidence
with a tapestry
leaves arching
flowers fountaining
pollen clinging
seeds spreading
vines wrapping
gripping
strangling
shoots of green rising

it looks so beautiful in its devouring
