Steamed

Steamed

Hot humid days of spring
here in Seattle and environs
bring with them a renewal
of such fascinating flora.

Vast herds of wild moss
thundering across the yard.

Green fuzz gathering
in my window sills.

Congregations of verdance
on the bathroom tiles.

Mushroom families fungal parties
rampaging between my toes.

The greening of the cat

Ah, spring.

Ah, pollen.

Ah, choo!
