the entry for things, seasonal things

[asakiyume]

from July

hop clover, so mice and rabbits can make beer
anise hyssop tastes sweet as sugar and like licorice
green heron by the ditch-canal
goldfinch flying like golden stitchery
goldfinches stitch with sunthread or lightning
queen anne's lace, sweetest smell
thistle sharp on leaves
thistle soft flowers
thistle taller than me
queen anne's lace taller than me
catbirds singing in very early morning
a yellow bird in the tree by the window
wind coming in the window, blowing straight in, during rain

from October, but remembering back to September as well

marvelous pepper smell, pepper, but sweet, of--is it the goldenrod? The asters? Something else?
soft velvet lining of chestnut burrs
the very white nuts of the hickory--paleface nuts--and the red brown chestnut foxy color of chestnuts
a clump of the red indian pipe, by the fallen tree on the upper trail.
withered wild grapes
bittersweet with leaves yellowing, berries brightening
windfalls in the brown and yellow leaves
the moss still jewel bright
