Waiting to be swallowed by the beetles

Hold me like a creeper does

When the tree is about to dry

But the destiny of the vine is

Not constrained by the time left for tree

To live

It is its ability to complete its journey

On the trunk, debris of leaves or for that matter

In the cervices of dead wood

Lying on the forest bed

Waiting to be swallowed by the beetles

Of time
