The Cattail casts its seeds wide to the Spring that is yet to come.
–––
This is a gift from the drawing in time of deep midwinter to the expansiveness of that most primavernal season.
Millions of latent life forces drift on the warm winds of African dreams to find their homes within the wet places of this ecology.
Still, the wheel turns as the days lengthen, and the sun rises once more toward her zenith and full power.
