“Hermit crab” by Craig Arnold; “Elder care” by me (from here www.plantsandpoetry.org/plant-people...) … thanks for all the great pieces you share!

Hermit crab A drifter, or a permanent house-guest, he scrabbles through the stones, and can even scale the flaked palm-bark, towing along his latest lodging, a cast-off periwinkle shell. Isn't he weighed down? Does his house not pinch? The sea urchin, a distant relative, must haul his spiny armor each slow inch by tooth only - sometimes, it's best to live nowhere, and yet be anywhere at home. That's the riddle of his weird housekeeping —does he remember how he wears each welcome out in its turn, and turns himself out creeping unbodied through the sand, grinding and rude, and does he feel a kind of gratitude?
Elder care Of thirteen cuttings, seven took, an auspicious sort of mixed success, uncountable clusters of berries, an armature of trees, an orchard for the years to come, none of which we'll live to see.
