That which we acquire with the most difficulty we retain the longest; as those who have earned a fortune are usually more careful of it than those who have inherited one.- Charles Caleb Colton Title: Serena Vista Artist: Mary Silverwood Pastoralby Jennifer ChangSomething in the field isworking away. Root-noise.Twig-noise. Plantof weak chlorophyll, noname for it. Somethingin the field has mastereddistance by living too closeto fences. Yellow fruit, has itpit or seeds? Stalk of wither. Grass-noise fighting weed-noise. Dirtand chant. Something in thefield. Coreopsis. I did not meanto say that. Yellow petal, has itwither-gift? Has it gorgeousrash? Leaf-loss and worried sprout, its bursting art. Some-thing in the. Field fallowed andcicada. I did not mean tosay. Has it roar and bloom?Has it road and follow? A thistleprick, fraught burrs, sucheasy attachment. Stem-and stamen-noise. Can I lime-flower? Can I chamomile?Something in the field cannot.
