WEAKNESS AND DOUBT

Weakness and doubt

are symbionts

famous throughout

the fungal orders,

which admire pallors,

rusts, grey talcums,

the whole palette

of dusts and powders

of the rot kingdom

and do not share

our kind’s disgust

at dissolution,

following the

interplay of doubt

and weakness

as a robust

sort of business;

the way we

love construction,

they love hollowing.
