/ within the sacred fungal ring
/ the many dwarves settle then slumber
/ their provenance unknown
- though it is said they grew up from the loam
in a bright moon -
/ from which they descend then
/ to a place beneath the earth
/ a place of sporulation
/ a mycelium city
/ their small bodies smothered in spore
/ the coupling begins for five days and nights
/ until spent the dwarves succumb
/ and decompose
/ and nourish
/ and the sacred fungal ring grows
/ greater with their young
/ spanning hundreds of metres
/ spanning hundreds of years
/ spanning hundreds of metres
/ spanning hundreds of years
