saffron and orange and pale gold,
in little towers,
soft as mash,
sneeze-bringers and seed-bearers,
full of bees sand yellow beads and perfect flowerlets…Marry Oliver

A European wood snail takes a measure of native big blue stem. These snails have become prevalent in our landscape. They are widespread and are in ascendancy. They also occupy a space on thrush, grouse and turkey menus. Escargo is easy eating, I guess.

Among the high rank grass that sweeps his sides
The hollow beating of his footsteps seems
A sacrilegious sound.

Show me a piece of land that God forgot—
a strip between an unused sidewalk, say,
and a bulldozed lot, rich in broken glass—
and there, July on, will be chicory,
its leggy hollow stems staggering skyward,
its leaves rough-hairy and lanceolate,
like pointed shoes too cheap for elves to wear,

and a bulldozed lot, rich in broken glass—

The sky has a corduroy look to it this morning. These cloud formations will appear in the early stages of destabilizing flows when surface temperatures are relatively cool.
