after an unspecified time skip
a hot snap
the meadow now between ochre and wheat
all washed out thirsty with the tide
nowhere to be seen
a canvas at least
for painted lady, monarch,
this cowslip camouflage
after an unspecified time skip
step over my brook
diminished now, here,
even the nettles droop
and round
creeping thistle heads exploded now bald
bone white with all they have left
time skip, unspecified
i try to piece it together
from context
all i ever have is fragments
