I hope you did a lie-down yourself, Heidi! There's much to love, and re-read, in your poem, but I lean to my own personal dry, "and if <br />it's dry instead, let green go and lie down golden-<br />grained, brown meeting the granulated ground,<br />and grass will weave. . ." We may have rain tonight but it's only a small chance, and it's cold! I choose to celebrate your early green: feeds a passing cat needing a tonic, or a kid <br />needing a slice of whistle or chlorophyll juice. . ." It's lovely.
