In the Land of Algae grows dragonfly larvae and tadpole eggs. A curious place of varied greens and swirling motes that build grasshopper an island. In the Land of Algae is the home of the skating water bug, fat belly and spindly legs, skipping over oxygen bubbles and landing in dark mud, seeping from delicious decay. In the Land of Algae is a planet unknown, as Mars and Jupiter, but so much closer to home.

Hull and Seed
I am the hull and the seed
The stem and the flower
Dry creek bed and flooded field
Crushed by life I am
Forged stronger than bone
Delicate as web threads in attic room
That dragonfly wings should replace a heart
Thumping wildly as the quiet morn
Aloft with a love from the coldest of fires
I am nowhere in everything
All my sounds in a hum
On fire is my soul to sing as one
