The mushroom image is printed on the same paper used throughout the rest of the book. The text is printed on a sheet of transparency which is attached to the paper and lies atop the printed image. The transparency can be lifted like a curtain to reveal the image below sans text. The poetry reads:
In an effort to join with you
I touch and spread gently with my fingertips
your labia and bring my head
in close and lick your clitoris.
“Yes,” you respond.
“Yes,” I respond.
Your labia are everywhere,
hidden, delicate, curled, protected.
“Yes,” reply the trees. “Yes,” say the mushrooms.
Wet and turgid
they tumble together in their pleasure.
Yes the dragonflies darting through the air
the reeds pushing through the mud
yes the water droplets from the trees.
Yes, yes, yes.
With this I make love to you.
With this I make love to you.
