Dwarfed

Meditating, bunnies cerebrally
Trace the tallest peaks, lowest vales
In its gnarled sinuous fissured surface.

An ancient petrified monolith
Hosting microcosms of benign
Coexistence within a mostly
Silent ancient sentinel.

Eons spent photosynthesising poisoned airs
Into breath; croaking, creaking, groaning-
Burdened by arterial routes connecting.

Plagues of embattled humans procreate,
Nesting lengths of engorged dwarfed limbs.

Bunnies ponder, what will happen next?

The journey of the picture began with random blobs of water. The tree evolved from teal watercolour and salt. My husband turned two wooden Easter bunny gifts into stamps.

The picture inspired the poem.
