Notes About The Poem

Poem about my daughter Kai the great mushroom farmer and lecturer. Kai has transitioned however her legacy lives,

Fungi

FUNGI
You came as a miracle from  
universe to earth from 
a universe to earth 
First:
we called you what?
Whatever until you told us better
was instilled inside our medulla obbligato – 
though you favored our brain, 
looked like a medulla obbligato.
Mushrooms only communicates with roots tentacles and spores;
Mushroom you bring good news for those whom pay attention.
Fungi spores high fly. 
Underneath the ground we are surrounded.
By the communication of energy exchange.
Kai told me of your plans
As she was tuned in to your frequency.
Kai, mushrooms -mushrooms, Kai- synonymous.
That humongous world of Mycelium.
her gift was interpreting their silent message.
I think of you with every mushroom, seen, 
mentioned or thought of.
I think of you with every new break through, 
“Kai Kachelle  now means mushroom intelligence”. 
Fungi spore carry a universal messenger.
