Climax
climax: in ecology, the final stable stage of development in a given environment
the climax is overrated
according to modern ecology
an idealized condition
touted falsely
as the end point
overshadowing other trajectories
in the forest
ongoing unfolding
of ruffled duff
renewing undoing
of broken canopies
concealing revealing
of buds awake to the not yet
the roused ground ever becoming.
