For the Lobaria, Usnea, Witches Hair, Map Lichen, Beard Lichen, Ground Lichen, Shield Lichen<\/p>\n\n\n\n

by Jane Hirshfield<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Back then, what did I know?
The names of subway lines, busses.
How long it took to walk 20 blocks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Uptown and downtown.
Not north, not south, not you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I saw you, later, seaweed reefed in the air,
you were grey-green, incomprehensible, old.
What you clung to, hung from: old.
Trees looking half-dead, stones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marriage of fungi and algae,
chemists of air,
changers of nitrogen-unusable into nitrogen-usable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like those nameless ones
who kept painting, shaping, engraving,
unseen, unread, unremembered.
Not caring if they were no good, if they were past it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rock wools, water fans, earth scale, mouse ears, dust,
ash-of-the-woods.
Transformers unvalued, uncounted.
Cell by cell, word by word, making a world they could live in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I wrote about lichen and moss<\/a> about a year ago, unaware of this poem then, otherwise it would have been added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In some ways fortunate, because it gives me opportunity today to bring together those words with new pictures. I have, of course, no clue what the lichens are called that I saw this week, much less do I know if any of them appear in Hirshfield’s listing. But I love the sentiment of her words, the observation that a world can be made<\/em> to live in, where life is possible, and that not all agents of transformation call for recognition – they just provide. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fungus for good measure<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Music<\/a> today celebrates a master of (thematic) transformation: Liszt. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is another take<\/a>, by a master of (Liszt) interpretation, Lazar Berman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
