head seed tassled above dry grasses
thin
light bends to wind fallen
sun lays white

on leaf   edge given from shadows
( as half moon face to naked eye )
and sounds gentle hiss rising

to prominence   flower petal
ruby veined pale and spotted
in field

where skin
bare against coarse weed
is embraced
insect chirp and frantic flight
across earth jumbled
clumps dry in heat
wind rattle pods
seed spilling
