Must Live Poem by Manonton Dalan

i'm watching a bark of a tree
greenish moss growing freely
on opposite so thick but gray
i look closer to find ecosystem
moving, alive community of tiny
animals foraging; even snails

i could imagine there are creatures
living inside and outside our body
in my mouth millions crawling, eating
down my throat rappelling to catch food
i'm a universe of flesh dwellers, neat
they'll eat me my temperature's down
