Each compressing pumping protoplasm.
Breathing in three-dimensional watery space.
Various vibrant wafting ciliate chained vibration,
version and variation.
Fungi/plant forest/shallows and deep/growing, changing/ hearing and seeing, feeling emotional, the-Earth,
a yet continuously sponge, fizzling clear soda popping hydro-caustic soapy-slivers,
spreading dappled, emulsifying over the underwater surface;
acrid-rotting, drowned salt marsh muddy fungi re-forming,
a kernel central-housing.
Now, clinging on to each for dear-life, it seemed.
Colliding and combining, clutching together,
each new variant progeny balancing, and re-balancing,
uncertain, in-view others infected, consumed, starved, and flooded.
Drowned-out; irradiated and non-functioning,
culled, wiped out, extinct before becoming anything more.
Erased from view;
conjectured briefly, then disappeared, without trace.
Swimming cilia flagella wave washed across,
dropped down into fungal mould caste creeping,
and crawling over and through the sub-Oceanic,
and sub-terranean surface.
Feeding, rampant, in the heady dead corpsing brew.
Pulled rotating downward and curling outward and upward.
Set-staged dressed brown and green, colour-coded,
rodded-fibre spherical spiral braided, upbraided, upraised.
String-entwined, en-raptured, sectioning-out, from a shared centre.
Overly-emotional, perhaps, over-sentimental breast,
Mashed, industrial-mud, pig-food leftovers,
splattered-mocking, gushing ships merchant-ships’ slop chest...
Holding double-bound retaining, simple-version, precursory alternating generational…in the massing vast waters,
encased miniature repeating…membranic hairlike projections,
all the way through, inside-and-out; tightly tangled-ball, pulled-pushing electromagnetic-growing,
into the solar heat rooted pushing-through to the nickel iron-ball magnetic centre of the planet.
Synergetic, building slimy-base textured, leavening cradle shell-cell walls, tough-translucent resilient-and-pliable.
The Fountain of life,
reconstructing to another point of renewed,
and critical collapse.
Built up over limit, folded-under, overweight,
with consumption and resumption, aggregating and re-aggregating,
back from a deadened hollow spanning-base.
Along the ground hazy underwater horizon,
moving culminating apical, spiral slime,
built and tumbling, mid-coned mired frothing foaming ferment.
Through mould-caste seabed, weaved and threaded upwards and along,
open at one end, testing and taking in, found and snipped-at.
Heat-singed and crystalline, frosted-mineral energising, glittering food-lake.
Chancing and changing occurrence; drawn-back, into the main-tube,
stringing-spanning, bridged-building, from the inside,
to store, to seek and find, once-more…
multiple-thousands of potential-specious chitinous-fungi holding and hardening,
toughened cross hatched entangled, built outriding-riser, passed-through,
compounding, tunneling and sticky glue pasted, cone funneling resinous sludge.
Signaling blue grey to red brown mudstone, spliced split pointed, tied in and grounded,
layering the buried deep protonic electron decaying inner-tension relieved,
fruiting-moistured, swollen dotted-mote, puff balling blue cap,
yellow pyrite and rusty-red speck seeded.
Boiling-out, retained-aromatic, acid-burning, lasted out, exhausted-vapourous,
slow-boiling erupting, dissolving sour and sweet spicy-trace.
From the-funicle corded, moulded ground, spat and trailing-out,
in-warming floe, poisoning bilious globular clustering forms,
rock-sheltering from sunlit chemical-solvent, destruction.
Along rocky gorge, amongst glistening, sticky matted reticular moulded stump, broken off.
Collapsed and readily, rapidly repairing and reforming,
dead-rooted feeding,
renewing tracing a wave watery pathway below, peaked, trough,
along open oceanic rift gorge, engorging fungal decay, bubbling bacterial,
fixed in root-nodule, coated, hosting strung-out podded,
icy-cold pocketing-vacuole growing-out through energized soaked,
mineral-metallic bath-warming.
Waning, cross-hatched seed, fertilised egg-enveloped,
syrupy plastid resinous,
fermental fluid fibre bonded and chaining across respirating,
re-energising across the EarthCentre sub-aquaterranean surface.
Trapped in the fungal mud and sand-floor,
ciliate pollen microspore attached seeded-follicle.
Re-iterated, whirling hair-unsprung, stemming cell-tip headed-rooting,
base-downwards through the mantle, coiling-foliating tubing-feathering,
fibrous thread-like, hollow-culm, overlaying, nodal leaf-sheath ligule, collar and blade, into the surround,
toward the chloroforming morning.
Each defending itself from, and consuming soaking- up,
radiating, renewing sunlight, to reform.
Stalked, corded, entwined sea-grasses, poking-out obliquely,
spreading-unevenly, projecting angular.
Bulging-podded, pointed budding-stems.
Out of the frothing underwater sink below,
sapping serial winding, upward looping,
tight wadded rounded, elliptical oval link chain, flattened out striped and frizzled,
curled up hair ball seed planted, watered, and mineral-protonic,
dead-nucleic fungal catalytic-stranded fed-anew.
Lengthening-toughened, turning wrapping-strandlines washing-gently,
against the ebbing and flowing underwater current.
Floating and transported, settled, swelling and transferring reseeding packages.
Squeezed, out of the mould, sunlight flickering, rooting follicle sprouting silky spiral sticky viscose,
synthesising sweet sugary cellulose algic fungal cell-wall, setting out, and sprouting-again…
inner and outer conjunctive seed-planted, and stem rooted,
branching flooded, freshwater-droplet air-vapour,
chambered, overclouded more stemming open leafed waterweed,
in the shallow waters, vascular spiral verdant,
open star-pointed nebulae shaped-leaf.
In the deep-clouding underwater, root stem bladder budded, branched bulbous podded-kelp;
stretched upwards opening broadening guttering leaf-filtering magnified purple-brown,
red-and-blue green-light.
With appearance of dense seaweed forest, edged opening, icy-flooded swollen,
and inwardly dried, opened out flap case lid, slit split open, and dropping
falling over the edge.
Chloroplastid, to seed again, splashed stringed interlocking-purple strand,
and traced along open orange sun drenched coastal-shoreline.
Through the settling, and re-settling oceanic soft bacterial-mats, coccoid seeded and filamentious forking-off protuberant spiky extension streaked-off,
coiling-rooted. Lobed radial and linear unraveling, dividing, opening;
folding, consuming nucleating mitochondrial-granule threaded.
Each of us, flowering tree-bark, simple core chemoheterotroph, inside, and outwardly raising anchored;
a base and apex in mid water, arched and bowed facing, tipped,
forward, passing through, as in a wave.
<
br /> On the rebound, to push a new angled limbic tendril forward,
headed triangular, pulling dragging along in the dense water.
Outwardly thick plasmic treacly, lingering gyromagnetic,
centro-spherical scopic, strung-out dimensionless, in a dimensionful-Universe.
Radiating angular-momentum, fibrillating, texturing inner and outer surface,
pushing outward with a stretching of the cantilevering membranous body, pulling back inward.
With resistance, moved and moving around, purposefully against the rising and sinking tide.
Sparking over fixed and moving coruscating-screen, in dense, and heavy seemingly thinning liquid,
inner edged bending twisting fibrous sinuous cartilage-structuring, proteinous scar channel muscling forming turning side-to-side, steering-ligament, fatty fleshed, continuous adhesion shuttling.
Riding each underwater warming wave, surfing, now, swarming, rippling-ribbing...
segment mineral-crystal coterie-nesting wave-formed motile-tipped, tiping,
encased nucleating-centerpiece.
Gooey-flocculation, electrostatic-aggregate-coagulating organelle-flowing plasma- polymer; in water,
precipitate solidifying-bodily transported, and holding-together.
Outwardly, uniquely reshaping each individual.
Complex, amoebic-animalcule, flowing, embryonic growing, segmented, swelling budding, divided paring-off.
Re-processing,
and packaging from the waters’packaging, and from and of-the-EarthCentre; in deep rock-pools,
and ocean-canyon, over magma-hot plate, as a pent-up opened-valve.
A cloud of bubbles released from the ocean floor.
Into and out of the waters, let over and through crystalline quartz clay and shale,
damp slippery rock, over flowing yellow ash grey sand, washed tarry sediment cooled rapidly...
rapped propagating cracks, chemical-bags, mud-dwelling.
Over-risen, galvanized-granite-land plate, with the following tide, along deep sea gorge,
over orange rust and yellow streaked ocean floor.
Through seething teeming grey-brown fungal and foul liquid mud, slipping, sliding;
each of us our own submersible translucent-protist chromatophore mote-centred.
Balled, furry stranded, microtubule coiling and re-coiled,
turning hubris, pulling-apart and together.
Pulling-through, and re-matched, expansively-within,
regrowing, reformed, crossed doubled-up,
spectroscopic absorption-pattered...

Stretched-furry unfolding striped brown and purple,

brushed off, depositing on each other, on the way through.
Similarity, congealing slime-ball salt-solute.
Crystal quartz-blackening brown and yellowing gasified,
liquidising solidifying ciliate grain exhausting,
to a stretched compressed-centred, closed micro-permeable wall,
lipid, spherical-amorphous, from a single bubbling warm droplet of water…
soft permeable walls soaking up, absorbing and adsorbing micron- nutrient, to maintain, grow, continue, and reproduce, excess-waste, allowing and disallowing entrance and exit.
Taking-over, colonizing control and function, zooming in and out.
Scaling detail, microtubule sheathed, oxidising energy massing metabolism.
Powering, microbial folding inside out, head over tail membrane taking in and bi-layer gastrulating,
ingratiating larger-growing, macrobial-combining, conjoined-ciliary ciliate,
escalator, respiratory and digestive flooded-passage.
Moving-off, crystalline matrix flagellate,
swimming, from the inner remains surviving,
pausing-only, to specify furthering repeat performance.
Suprasonic shrill piercing, constricted sounded screeching-burst; heat compressed sono-luminescent;
outer tension holding reflecting and blocking the electric-lighted spectrum, through and of ourselves.
Each reflected inner stranded limbic, in water, sustained,
sponging held up on the water, sinking and rising at will,
moving forward and back, side to side.
Soft-bodied slow-moving clear-creamy and yellow triple sectioned trilobite, expanding and contracting with rising and falling.
Internal atmospheric fluctuation, flocculation.
Watery gasses separated, swim-bladder filled-stabilizing...blood-streamed, oxygen-blue artery-vein... stream-rivering estuarial;

Capturing, double-lined permeable-hollow, semi-liquid algic-fungal bacterial-bowl.
Vibrant halo-ringed coiled disc-spiral rodded filament-glowing in,
