 splitting it in twain;

Photograph of a Buddha head carving enveloped by Strangler Fig at Wat Mahathat in Ayutthaya, Thailand.
On a scale from
    "this is cozy"
            to 
     "my skull is cracking," 
 I wonder how the fig tree
     at Wat Mahathat treats
          the Buddha's head?

Photograph of a Strangler Fig straddling a stone wall -- taken at Ta Prom, Angkor, Cambodia.
I thought I caught a fig tree,
  escaping over a stone wall,
 but when I turned my attention 
  upon it, it stayed so very still.

 in a rotten sleeper,

Photograph of a cluster of pink Mountain Azalea with barren woods in the background. Taken on the Sawnee Mountain Trail in North Georgia.
One cluster of Mountain Azalea
   Stands out like royal regalia,
 Adorning a near naked vagrant --
    But much more pleasingly fragrant.
