Fertile Earth                     

A child lies down 
between rows of August. 
Still gladioli against 
months of clouds.  

The flying sticks  
arrive. To instantly
run away. As scary 
as Oz monkeys.   

Between & against: origins 
of escape; & to escape 
is one form of 
losing ones way.   

September.  
Hurried is the color of plum-skin.
October.
Impatient is the color of plum-bloom.

November.
