Silver needle trembles in the palm
Geiger clicks count seconds into calm
Mist clings to Quercus bark and rusted rail
Compass spins where radiation trails
Betula leaves drink isotopes like rain
Roots map the poison in each vein
Needle shakes but holds its line
Half-life shadows fall behind
True north buried in the pines
Geiger bloom in dead zone light
Silver finds its way through night
Petals count each clicking beat
Life persists in poison heat
Click by click the needle turns
Click by click the circle burns
Faster now the rhythm pounds
North is lost but still it sounds
Geiger bloom rises now
Pulse becomes a flower
Pinus sylvestris stands in grey cohorts
Dead wood humming low frequency chords
Compass glass reflects the violet sky
No satellite can hear it cry
Geiger bloom in dead zone light
Silver finds its way through night
Petals count each clicking beat
Life persists in poison heat
Urtica dioica thrives in contaminated loam
Stinging nettles claim the abandoned home
Needle steadies on a magnetic north
Bloom emerges from the ruined earth
Botanist records the Latin names
Each species adapts to gamma flames
Taxonomy of survival written
In soil where nothing was forgiven
Geiger bloom takes the crown
Radiant in the breakdown
Silver case now warm from human touch
Compass points to growth not worth as much
Coordinates logged in field-worn book
Life reads deeper than a Geiger look
Geiger bloom in dead zone light
Silver finds its way through night
Petals count each clicking beat
Life persists in poison heat
Geiger bloom forever sweet
Needle settles on a living root
Geiger silence absolute
