explaining Green to those unfamiliar with the concept

 

Sporobolus heterolepis 8zz

 


in a cooler, wetter, lusher era

prairie dropseed rolled over hills in a seafoam green

clumps, more wisps than blades, tapering to peaks white like

a dash of invigorating salt flung clean into the air

a glare so bright the world could only be observed through slits

the spray once raised when ocean waters encountered coastal reefs 

flowing across them in a pattern of woosh_pause_woosh_pause 

as soothing as a field of native grasses stirred by a late summer breeze
