Threes

A view of a hotbed of demolition where dandelions grow
through panes of glass and into weedy knees
forming starfish and lifemarks.

A view of a dirty bedroom mirror with pollen and spores
growing through the pane of glass into a swollen face.
These are hormonemarks and bad skin flora.

A view of wet beds of eelgrass where brent geese feed
growing on the estuary marker in the mud
with the lichenmarks and mussel beards.
