Judge #5:
The use of the “Lichen Chorus” as a metaphor for growth and interdependence is powerful. Even when things have spriraled out of control into what looks like the bottom, the enduring lichen are slowly growing and helping to spur other life in the garden. Good use of sensory details. A very pleasing and hopeful peace, overall.
