Seed bombs

By Amanda Young


A flower array in Fibonacci's sequence
like the coiled serpent whose mouth is wide open - listen
with your curly ear, searching
as the wind catches mycelium spores.

New York's 70's community garden, inspires the introduction.
A Guerilla Gardener's page-turner of green-fingered individuals and groups.
Forking over the city scape to recreate a vibrant vegetative life-force,
where seed bombs explode under flickering street lights.

Teased, tempted, hungry for community growing -
gypsophilia, gladioli, garlic and green beans.
Disused spaces, reclaimed for usage - we tend,
and engage again with the fruits of all shared gardens.
