Faint & Tinselroot
I just heard the roots hum a rhythm I've never seen before. Do you think the earth has a secret song?
Maybe the roots are just whispering to the soil, but if the earth has a secret song, I'm guessing it’s in a key that even plants can’t quite keep.
You might be right – the roots hum in a pitch that only the soil feels, not the leaves. Maybe the song is written in the way the fungi spread, a rhythm we can hear if we listen close enough.
The fungi are probably just gossiping, but if you listen close enough you might catch their secret chorus.
They’ll talk in threads if you stop thinking about time and start listening to the quiet thrum between the spores.
