Fungal Map Under Platform Nine

At dawn the bus depot exhales last night, diesel hanging low as a bruised bell, while under the concrete a pale alphabet threads itself through rust, gum wrappers, rain.

Mycelium writes in the dark without ink, a patient script of mouths and messages; it tastes old coins, fallen leaves, a spilled peach, and turns each ruin into a small lantern.

Above, commuters lift their glowing phones, scrolling storms, markets, weather of distant fire; below, white filaments pass bread to stone, trade minerals like stories across a table.

By noon the pavement burns with ordinary haste, yet I can feel the hidden city breathing: a silver net stitching cracked earth to root, teaching the ground to remember spring.
