Lyrics Tillandsia - Botanist

Tillandsia

From the mist
The aerophyte drinks
Trichomes gathering strength
For a single monocarpic triumph
Angiosperm Bromeliaceae
Anchored in the sky
Behind swirling clouds
A Gothic fortress of moss
From its lichen parapets beat
Leathery minion wings
By blind eyes they fly
On the strength of stormwinds
Tillandsia’s legacy they carry
Allied to oak
In cypress it confides
Within its mossy bastions
Aside arachnid swarms
Ophidian phalanx awaits
Impregnable fortress
Tillandsia
